iss062e069045 (Feb. 28, 2020) --- The three-member Expedition 62 crew poses for a portrait inside the Harmony module. Harmony is connected to three International Space Station laboratory modules -- Europe's Columbus, Japan's Kibo and the United States' Destiny lab modules. Clockwise from bottom are, NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Andrew Morgan and Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Skripochka.

How NASA is keeping coronavirus off the International Space Station
A mission is planned for just three weeks from now, but NASA has a plan.
ROBBY BERMAN 17 March, 2020

(...) It's comforting to know that NASA has for some time been careful about allowing germs aloft. Before every mission, dating back to the Apollo 14 launch in 1971, crew members heading for orbit must first spend two weeks in a "health stabilization" quarantine. Prior to its implementation, pre-flight illnesses were a concern and a relatively common occurrence.

Prior to entering the quarantine for the upcoming mission, NASA will be testing crew members for coronavirus infection.

One of the mission's crew is a cosmonaut from Kazakhstan (the location of the launch site). This past weekend, the nation reported its first coronavirus test and then closed its borders to outsiders.

NASA's team will be allowed entry, though the launch personnel roster is being pared down to as few people as possible. Safe travel arrangements are still being assessed. No reporters will be allowed to attend the launch, and the Russian state space corporation, Roscosmos, will take the unusual step of live-streaming the launch, as NASA usually does.

In the middle of April, a return for some ISS crew members is on the calendar. Expected to land aboard a Soyuz capsule are presumably virus-free Andrew Morgan and Jessica Meir from the U.S, and Russian cosmonaut Oleg Skripochka. The capsule will come down in the Kazhak desert, a type of landing that in normal times requires a large number of recovery personnel to retrieve returning crew. NASA has not yet announced plans to modify this cohort of rescuers. (...)



As far as NASA's Earth-bound employees go, the agency has a four-stage classification system for how and where to work. The coronavirus response framework (above) covers Central Access, Health & Safety, Meetings & Events, and Travel.

So as of now, NASA's plans for the next three missions remain on-track, with modifications made where possible in response to COVID-19 challenges. Of course, things are changing almost daily, and NASA has made it clear that they plan to continually re-assess their mission plans as events warrant.

19 marca silniki  Progressa MS-13 podniosły orbitę ISS o prawie 1,1 km.

ISS orbit raised ahead of Soyuz MS-16 manned spacecraft’s docking
20 MAR, 01:12

(...) "In accordance with the ISS flight program a scheduled adjustment of its orbit was carried out on March 19, 2020," Roscosmos said.

The engines of the Progress cargo spacecraft were switched on at 20:14 Moscow Time and worked for 534 seconds as scheduled. As a result of the maneuver the ISS’s orbit was raised by nearly 1.1 km to 419 km.

The maneuver was conducted to create ballistic conditions for the docking of the Soyuz MS-16 manned spacecraft with three crew members onboard and the Soyuz MS-15 spacecraft’s landing with a cosmonaut and two astronauts. (...)

Kolejna korekcja orbity ISS za pomocą silników modułu Zwiezda.

Więcej: https://www.roscosmos.ru/28413/

Коррекция орбиты МКС прошла штатно
Сегодня, 19 апреля 2020 года, в соответствии с программой полёта Международной космической станции осуществлена плановая коррекция её орбиты. Манёвр проводился в автоматическом режиме с использованием корректирующих двигателей КД-1 и КД-2 служебного модуля «Звезда» российского сегмента.

Они были включены в 08:09 мск на 58,5 секунды, в результате МКС получила импульс в 0,97 м/с. Согласно данным службы баллистико-навигационного обеспечения Центра управления полётами ЦНИИмаш (входит в состав Госкорпорации «Роскосмос»), параметры орбиты станции после выполнения коррекции составили:

Период обращения: 92,88 мин;
наклонение орбиты: 51,66 град;
минимальная высота над поверхностью Земли: 417,69 км;
максимальная высота над поверхностью Земли: 436,62 км.
Данная операция проведена с целью подготовки рабочей орбиты перед запуском и стыковкой грузового корабля «Прогресс МС-14», которые запланированы в 04:51 мск и 08:13 мск 25 апреля 2020 года соответственно. В настоящее время на космодроме Байконур завершается его подготовка к запуску. Он доставит на Международную космическую станцию запасы топлива и газов, служебное оборудование и средства жизнеобеспечения по программе 75-й миссии снабжения МКС.

Była to 294 korekcja orbity ISS, 35 korekcja przy użyciu silników Zwiezdy.
