[i]The International Space Station's (ISS) flight orbit has been adjusted ahead of the Soyuz MS-21 launch and the Soyuz-19 landing, Russia's state space corporation Roscosmos said on Friday. "An International Space Station's orbit adjustment has been carried out to create ballistic conditions ahead of the landing of the Soyuz MS-19 reentry vehicle and the launch of the Soyuz MS-21 manned spaceship," it said. The adjustment maneuver was carried out with the help of the engines of the Progress MS-18 cargo spaceship that were switched on at 22:35 Moscow time to be working for 320.01 seconds. "According to preliminary calculations, the stations' altitude has been raised by 850 meters to reach 418.44 kilometers above Earth," Roscosmos said.[/i]
