Moscow Mission Control Set To Widen ISS Orbit By 700 Meters
Moscow (RIA) Apr 20, 2006 Russia's Mission Control near Moscow said it would widen the International Space Station's orbit by 700 meters on Wednesday evening. Alexander Kireyev, head of Mission Control's ballistic service, said the orbital adjustment was needed to test the ISS engines after a long pause, and to prepare the world's sole civilian space station for docking with the cargo spacecraft Progress M-56 on April 26. Kireyev said Progress M-56 is set to be launched from the Baikonur space station, which Russia leases from the Central Asian republic of Kazakhstan, on April 24.
