NASA adjusts International Space Station mission schedules following Russian cargo spacecraft loss
In short: Following the loss of the Progress 59 cargo craft, NASA and international partners are revising the schedule for spacecraft arrivals and departures at the International Space Station. This update outlines how these changes affect current crew return dates and upcoming launch plans for Expedition 44.
A formal update regarding the investigation is anticipated on May 22.
These adjustments impact the Expedition 43 crew, including Terry Virts, Samantha Cristoforetti, and Anton Shkaplerov, who will now return to Earth in June rather than May. Additionally, Kjell Lindgren, currently in pre-flight training for Expedition 44, is now scheduled to launch to the station in July.
