The orbit of the International Space Station (ISS) was adjusted to prepare for the arrival of Soyuz MS-28 and the landing of Soyuz MS-27, Roscosmos said in a statement.
The docked Progress MS-32 cargo ship was used for the correction. Its engines were turned on at 16:04 Moscow time.
The power plants operated for 847.47 seconds, delivering an impulse of 1.55 m/s. After that, the altitude of the ISS orbit increased by 2.7 km. The average flight altitude of the station reached 419.74 km above the Earth's surface.
Currently, the Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexey Zubritsky, Sergei Ryzhikov, and Oleg Platonov, NASA astronauts Johnny Kim, Zina Cardman, and Michael Fink, and JAXA astronaut Kimiy Yu are on duty at the station.
