One NASA astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts undocked from the International Space Station and returned to Earth early Wednesday morning after a yearlong stay in space — the longest single flight in U.S. space history.
NASA flight engineer Frank Rubio, commander Sergey Prokopyev, and co-pilot Dmitri Petelin left the station at 3:54 a.m. EDT in the Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft. The trio arrived on the steppe of Kazakhstan at 7:17 a.m. EDT with a parachute-assisted landing — bringing an end to their unexpectedly extended stay in space, NASA announced."Everybody did really well," Rubio said."It's good to be home.
Rubio, a father of four children, said upon his return that"hugging my wife and kids is going to be paramount. And I'll probably focus on that for the first couple days." "Your vestibular system is probably the most affected," Rubio said."And then after that, really, it's a couple of months to regain your strength. Our trainers do a great job of keeping us in shape up here. But the reality is we're not standing, we're not walking, we're not bearing our own weight."
