Launched on the evening of September 11 at 19:23 Moscow time from Baikonur, the manned spacecraft Soyuz MS-26 successfully reached the ISS. In addition to cosmonauts, it delivered about 130 kg of cargo and equipment for six scientific experiments to the ISS.
According to Roscosmos, Soyuz MS-26 docked to the Rassvet module in automatic mode at 22:32 Moscow time on September 11. Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Wagner and NASA astronaut Donald Pettit have already met with their colleagues on the ISS.
Now Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub, as well as NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson, can safely return to Earth on September 23. They have already tried on the placement in individual Kazbek-UM reclining chairs of the Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft and prepared return cargo.
