I-Roscosmos cosmonauts u-Nikolai Chub kunye no-Oleg Kononenko kunye nosomajukujuku we-NASA uTracy C. Dyson, babuyele eMhlabeni bevela Isikhululo saMajukujuku saMazwe ngaMazwe (ISS). Basishiya isikhululo sasemajukujukwini bekhwele isiphekepheke seSoyuz MS-25 baza benza indawo encediswa yiparashute eKazakhstan nge-23 Septemba 2024.
I-cosmonauts u-Oleg Kononenko kunye no-Nikolai Chub baqaliswe kwi-ISS kwi-mission yonyaka wonke kwi-spacecraft ye-Soyuz MS-24 ngomhla we-15 Septemba 2023. Babuyele eMhlabeni emva kokuchitha iintsuku ezingama-374 kwindawo. Oku kokona kuhlala ixesha elide esithubeni. UCosmonaut Kononenko ugqibe inqwelomoya yakhe yesihlanu yasemajukujukwini ethatha iintsuku ezili-1111 zizonke esithubeni eyirekhodi lelona xesha lide lokuqokeleleka elichithwa esithubeni.
Usomajukujuku weNASA uTracy Dyson uchithe iinyanga ezintandathu kwi-ISS. Ngelixa wayekhwele, uDyson uthathe inxaxheba kwimisebenzi emininzi yezesayensi kubandakanya ukusebenza kwe-aa 3D bioprinter ukuprinta iisampulu zezicubu zentliziyo kunye necrystallization yeeprotheyini zemodeli ukuvavanya ukusebenza kwehardware engasetyenziselwa ukuvelisa amayeza.
NgeMinyaka engama-25 kwi-orbit kunye nokutyelela ngoosomajukujuku abangaphezu kwama-270, iSikhululo saMajukujuku saMazwe ngaMazwe (ISS) sesona sixhobo sikhulu senziwe ngumntu (malunga ne-109 m nge-51 m) ekhe yajikeleza uMhlaba kumphakamo ophakathi kwama-370–460 km. Inomthamo ocinezelekileyo omalunga ne-900 m3 kunye nobunzima obungaphezulu kwama-400,000 kg. Uluhlu lwaso lwelanga lugubungela indawo eyi-2,247 m2 kwaye inokuvelisa amandla angama-735,000 kW-iiyure ngonyaka. Ithwala abasebenzi abaphakathi kwe-3 kunye ne-13 yoosomajukujuku.
I-ISS yilabhoratri eyodwa apho abantu baye bahlala kwaye basebenza iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amabini ukwenza uphando lwezenzululwazi kwindawo engqongileyo yomxhuzulane ophantsi. Ukuya kwinjongo ye indawo enzulu ukuhamba kunye nokuhlala, indawo yophando ye-ISS yenze ukuba kuqondwe nzulu imiceli mngeni ye-spaceflight yexesha elide.
