Parts of the airspace over Kazakhstan and Russia will be temporarily closed on July 14 for the launch of the Soyuz MS-29 spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Orda.kz reports, citing SHOT.
The main restrictions will remain in effect for 35 minutes, from 5:47 p.m. to 6:22 p.m. Moscow time. Flights will be limited over parts of Kazakhstan and the Russian regions of Irkutsk, Trans-Baikal, Buryatia and Tyva.
Separate restrictions around the Baikonur Cosmodrome will begin 30 minutes before liftoff. In total, the restricted flight path will extend for approximately 4,100 kilometers, including about 2,500 kilometers over Russia.
Russian cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina and NASA astronaut Anil Menon will travel to the International Space Station aboard the spacecraft.
During the mission, the crew will conduct 38 scientific experiments, test a new automated system for monitoring the station’s atmosphere and work with the Teledroid humanoid robot. They will also study the Sun using a terahertz detector that could help predict solar flares and magnetic storms. Two spacewalks are planned.
