Roscosmos announced that another orbit correction of the International Space Station had been carried out. This was done using the engines of the Progress MS-24 spacecraft docked to the ISS.
They [the engines] ran for 1314.56 seconds and produced an impulse of 2.05 m/s. After the maneuver, the average altitude of the ISS orbit was 419.24 km above the Earth's surface.
The increase in orbit altitude by 3.5 kilometers was carried out to create ballistic conditions before docking with the Soyuz MS-24 crewed spacecraft and undocking and returning the Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft.
Meanwhile, on Earth at Baikonur, preparations for the launch of Soyuz MS-24 are being completed.
The final checks have already been carried out, Roscosmos specialists have completed the rolling of the head fairing and prepared the assembly and protection unit for the upcoming launch readiness check. The launch of the Soyuz-2.1a carrier rocket with Soyuz MS-24 is scheduled for September 15.
