ROSCOSMOS - Russian Vehicles patch.
Aug 10, 2022
On Wednesday, August 10, 2022, the orbit of the International Space Station was adjusted to form ballistic conditions before the launch of the Soyuz MS-22 manned spacecraft and the landing of the Soyuz MS-21.
The engines of the Progress MS-20 cargo spacecraft docked to the Zvezda Service Module of the ISS Russian Segment were turned on at 10:16 Moscow time. They worked for 164.6 seconds and gave an impulse of 0.3 m/s.
According to preliminary data, after the maneuver, the average height of the station's orbit increased by 0.53 km and amounted to 416.17 km.

For the entire duration of the ISS flight, 323 corrections of its orbital altitude were carried out, including 172 with the help of Progress cargo spacecraft engines.
The launch of the Soyuz MS-22 (Tsiolkovsky) manned spacecraft by the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle from the Baikonur Cosmodrome is scheduled for September 21, 2022. Its crew includes members of the 68th long-term expedition to the ISS - Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin, as well as NASA astronaut Francisco Rubio.
Landing of the descent vehicle of the Soyuz MS-21 manned spacecraft in Kazakhstan is expected on September 29, 2022. Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Artemiev, Denis Matveev and Sergei Korsakov will return to Earth from the ISS.
Currently, the crew of the 67th long-term expedition is working on board the ISS, which, in addition to Oleg Artemyev, Denis Matveev and Sergey Korsakov, includes NASA astronauts Chell Lindgren, Robert Hines and Jessica Watkins, as well as European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti.
