The Soyuz spacecraft returned from the ISS, landing in Kazakhstan

The spacecraft carrying NASA cosmonaut Loral O'Hara along with Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky and Belarusian cosmonaut Marina Vasilevskaya landed in Kazakhstan at 12:17 local time ( 07:17 GMT).

Astronaut Loral O'Hara completed a 204-day mission in space, while the remaining two astronauts just finished a short mission in space that began on March 23.

Space is one of the last areas in which the United States and Russia continue to cooperate despite the rapidly deteriorating relationship between the two sides due to disagreements related to the conflict in Ukraine.
