Soyuz MS-26 manned spacecraft crew docks with ISS, setting record for astronauts in Orbit

The Soyuz MS-26 spacecraft launched from Kazakhstan’s Baikonur Cosmodrome on September 11, 2024, successfully docking with the International Space Station (ISS) just hours later. The crew includes NASA astronaut Don Pettit and Russian cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner, joining 16 astronauts already aboard the ISS and bringing the total to a record-breaking 19 individuals in orbit.

The crew is set to spend 202 days on the ISS, with plans to return on April 1, 2025. During their six-month mission, they will conduct 42 scientific experiments, including three unique studies, as stated by the Roscosmos Russian Space Agency.

This mission marks the third spaceflight for Ovchinin, the second for Vagner, and the fourth for Pettit. The docking of the spacecraft with the ISS occurred smoothly, according to a livestream from Roscosmos.

Record of 19 humans in Earth's orbit, but they didn't count the 3, maybe 6, on the China space station?

[overseeingeye]

Why is a Russian capsule helping Americans up to the ISS, given all the conflict that’s going on?

[nanyanguo]

Cant the same vehicle help bring back the 2 stranded america tourists astronauts in ISS ?

[taiwanstillisntacountry]

ISS : International Space-Station.
Is there a little-D-boi Space-station?
Is there an USA Space-station?
Is there an European Space-station?
Maybe a JPN space-station?
No lah, there is only a Chinese Space-station.

The global hunger index of India is 111 out of 125 countries and it's GDP/Capita, also known as income per year of an average citizen, has been stuck under the $3000 mark from year 1947 independence till year 2024 and still counting. Now, even the animals, the wolves, are hungry and are resorting to attacking humans in India. It looks like everyone and everything is hungry in India. India is truly a superpower country (Know Your Meme: India superpower by 2020)😁. Meanwhile, the Caste System Overlords, who got themselves rich from exploiting the poor, spent hundreds of millions on his wedding (Ambani). In the Mumbai slums, slum dwellers share the same neighborhood with India’s and Asia's richest man, Mukesh Ambani. Despite being so rich, he did little to help his countrymen, especially those that live just across his mansion. There is an |ndian saying that says "the life of a cow is more valuable than a Dalit/slum dweller." 🤭🤣😂

Are we back to relying on Russia to get our astronauts to the space station again? At least they can safely do it. Apparently we suck.
