The Progress Progress 93 spaceship will remain moored at the space station for about six months before leaving to enter the earth’s atmosphere to eliminate the waste in charge of the crew. Before the arrival of the spaceship, the Spatial Progress 91 will disconnect from the Zvezda service module on Tuesday, September 9. NASA will not broadcast defusing.
The international space station is a convergence of science, technology and human innovation allowing not possible research on earth. For almost 25 years, NASA has supported an American human presence has continued on board the orbit laboratory, where astronauts have learned to live and work in space for long periods. The space station is a springboard to develop an economy of the low earth and the next big jumps of NASA in human exploration at the Moon and in Mars.
