Kononenko and Chub, who introduced with O’Hara to the station at the Soyuz MS-24 spacecraft utmost September, spent 374 days in field on a commute of 158.6 million miles, spanning 5,984 orbits. Kononenko finished his 5th gliding into field, accruing a document of one,111 days in orbit, and Chub finished his first spaceflight.
Following post-landing scientific tests, the team will go back to the fix staging town in Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson will next board a NASA airplane certain for the company’s Johnson Area Middle in Houston.
