NASA Tv protection of NASA astronaut Frank Rubio and two Roscosmos cosmonauts’ return to Earth is underway.
Rubio, together with Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin, started the journey again to Earth within the early morning hours when the Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft undocked from the Worldwide House Station’s Prichal module at 3:54 a.m. EDT. The trio are heading for a parachute-assisted touchdown on the steppe of Kazakhstan, southeast of the distant city of Dzhezkazgan, at 7:17 a.m. (5:17 p.m. Kazakhstan time).
Expedition 70 formally started aboard the station on the time of undocking with NASA astronauts Loral O’Hara and Jasmin Moghbeli, ESA (European House Company) astronaut and new station commander Andreas Mogensen, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Company) astronaut Satoshi Furukawa and Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chub, and Konstantin Borisov.
