Soyuz MS-17 relocation

The Soyuz MS-17 spacecraft, with Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov, Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and NASA astronaut Kathleen Rubins, was undocked from the Rassvet module on 19 March 2021, at 16:38 UTC, and docked to the Poisk module at 17:12 UTC. According to Roscosmos, the Soyuz MS-17 redocking is necessary so that the Soyuz MS-18 crewed vehicle, scheduled for launch on April 9, could dock to the Rassvet module, while the Poisk module could be safely used to conduct a spacewalk (EVA-48) to finish the Pirs module undocking and deorbit and subsequent docking of the Nauka module in its place.
