ISS rapidly moved away from the Earth – Dni.Ru

ISS for docking with the spacecraft “Soyuz TMA-20M” conducted a correction of the orbit. The ship moved away from the Earth and a half kilometers. Now the station is located at an altitude of 405 kilometers above the earth’s surface.

The International space station (ISS) distant from Earth and a half kilometers. Thus, the astronauts made a correction of its orbit for docking with the manned spacecraft “Soyuz TMA-20M” .

It was carried out with the help of the cargo spacecraft “Progress M-29M”, TASS. “The planned height of the ISS orbit correction is completed,” – said a spokesman for the Mission Control Center at the end of the orbit correction.

spacecraft engines were included approximately at 7:15 MSK, and worked for 500 seconds. Thus, the ISS is now at an altitude of 405 kilometers above the ground.

Earlier, NASA astronaut Scott Kelly called his partner on the mission of Mikhail Kornienko “friend for life” , RIA Novosti reported. American noted that the presence of Russian helped him over 340 days in space.

On March descent vehicle capsule “Soyuz TMA-18M” with the participants of the annual Mission 2 – Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko and Sergei Volkov, spent in orbit for six months, landed in Kazakhstan, in an area close to the calculated . The cosmonauts feel fine, but get out on their own they are not able of the descent capsule.
