Soyuz returns ISS crew to Earth
Posted: Sun, Apr 19, 2020, 10:28 AM ET (1428 GMT)
A Soyuz spacecraft returned three people form the International Space Station early Friday. The Soyuz MS-15 spacecraft landed in Kazakhstan at 1:16 am EDT (0516 GMT), more than three hours after undocking from the station. The spacecraft returned to Earth NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Andrew Morgan, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Skripochka. Meir and Skripochka spent 205 days in space while Morgan spent 272 days off the planet. The pandemic reduced the size of the recovery team greeting the crew, and also changed the way Meir and Morgan will get back to the United States.
