SPACE STATION CREW TAKES A SPIN AROUND THE BLOCK IN THEIR SOYUZ VEHICLE Expedition 64 Commander Sergey Ryzhikov of Roscosmos and Flight Engineers Kate Rubins of NASA and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov of Roscosmos took a short ride away from the International Space Station March 19, undocking their Russian Soyuz MS-17 spacecraft from the Rassvet module on the Earth-facing port of the station’s Russian segment and redocking to the Poisk module on the station’s space-facing side. The relocation maneuver cleared the Rassvet port for the April 9 arrival of three additional crew members, Oleg Novitskiy and Pyotr Dubrov of Roscosmos and Mark Vande Hei of NASA, who will dock their Soyuz MS-18 vehicle after their launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
