Still Waters Posted March 30, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2017 NASA has announced that veteran astronauts Joe Acaba and Ricky Arnold will launch on nearly six-month expeditions aboard the International Space Station starting in September and in March 2018, filling seats aboard Russian Soyuz spaceships recently acquired in a commercial arrangement with Boeing. Acaba is set to launch first, riding to the space station inside the Soyuz MS-06 spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan in September with Russian commander Alexander Misurkin and NASA flight engineer Mark Vande Hei. That trio will be part of the station’s Expedition 53 and 54 crews, returning to Earth next February. https://spaceflightnow.com/2017/03/29/nasa-assigns-astronauts-to-future-space-station-missions/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
