The Soyuz MS-23 crew ship, with Expedition 69 crew members Frank Rubio of NASA, and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin aboard, undocked from the Poisk module at 4:45 a.m. EDT on Thursday for a short relocation maneuver. The MS-23 successfully maneuvered to the Earth-facing side of the International Space Station and docked to the Prichal module at 5:22 a.m. The relocation opens up Poisk’s airlock for future Roscosmos spacewalks in Orlan spacesuits and frees its docking port for the upcoming ISS Progress 84 resupply mission.
