On Sunday, a special flight with the commander of the Soyuz MS-26 spacecraft, Alexey Ovchinin, and flight engineer Ivan Wagner landed at the Chkalovsky airfield near Moscow.
The Cosmonaut Training Center reported that immediately after landing, the cosmonauts headed in a special bus to Star City, where the post-flight rehabilitation stage will begin.
They will be under medical supervision for the first few weeks, after which the recovery will continue in one of the specialized sanatoriums.
The return to Earth was the final stage of the cosmonauts' long mission. On Sunday at 00:57 Moscow time, the Soyuz MS-26 spacecraft undocked from the International Space Station. Its descent module landed at 04:21 Moscow time in the steppes of Kazakhstan, 147 kilometers southeast of the city of Zhezkazgan.
The crew arrived at the ISS on September 11, 2024. Alexey Ovchinin completed his third space flight, Ivan Wagner his second, and NASA astronaut Donald Pettit, who was also part of the crew, his fourth. During the expedition, the cosmonauts conducted a number of scientific and applied experiments, received two Progress MS series cargo ships and one manned Soyuz MS-27, and also performed one spacewalk.
