Russia is expected to launch Soyuz MS-28 with three people to the International Space Station for an eight-month stay aboard the outpost as part of Expedition 73 and 74.
Flying aboard are Russian cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergey Mikayev, as well as NASA astronaut Christopher Williams.
Launch will occur atop a Soyuz 2.1a rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Docking with the space station’s Rassvet module is expected a few hours later.
Orbital Velocity is designed to be "living time capsule" about the International Space Station.
This project is an attempt to bridge an information gap between space agencies and companies, as well as a public that supports space endeavors with their tax dollars. Despite the importance of the space station, the general public doesn't always know what is happening aboard this amazing complex on a regular basis. Research being conducted isn't always readily available and what information is out there can sometimes be difficult to understand. Some people aren't even aware there is an active space program, let alone a space station.
Orbital Velocity hopes to change that by building a database of information through blogs, a website, small videos and longer documentary-like series'.
