ISS
----
Expedition 73 continues.
On Nov 25 the Canadarm-2 robot arm unberthed Cygnus NG-23, holding it away from ISS to provide
clearance for an upcoming Soyuz docking.
On Nov 27 Soyuz MS-28 was launched from Baykonur pad 31/6 carrying astronauts
Kud'-Sverchkov, Mikaev and Williams. Soyuz MS-28 docked with the ISS
Rassvet module at 1234 UTC. Pad 31/6 was seriously damaged during the launch; a service
structure broke off and fell into the flame trench. This is likely to significantly
postpone future Soyuz-MS and Progress-MS launches.
On Dec 2 the NRCSD-29 cubesats were deployed from the Kibo module.
