A trio of space travel<\/a>ers safely returned to Earth on Thursday after a six-month mission on the International Space Station.<\/p>\n

The Soyuz MS-16 capsule carrying NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy, and Roscosmos’ Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner landed on the steppes of Kazakhstan southeast of the town of Dzhezkazgan at 7:54 a.m. (2:54 GMT) Thursday. After a brief medical checkup, the three will be taken by helicopters to Dzhezkazgan from where they will depart home.<\/p>\n

The crew smiled as they talked to masked members of the recovery team, and NASA and Roscosmos reported that they were in good condition.<\/p>\n

As part of additional precautions due to the coronavirus, the rescue team members meeting the crew were tested for the virus and the number of people involved in the recovery effort was limited.<\/p>\n

Cassidy, Ivanishin and Vagner spent 196 days in orbit since arriving at the station on April 9.<\/p>\n

NASA’s Kate Rubins and Roscosmos’ Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov arrived at the orbiting outpost a week ago for a six-month stay.<\/p>\n

Before the crew’s departure, Russian cosmonauts were able to temporarily seal the air leak they tried to locate for several months. The small leak has posed no immedia<\/a>te danger to the station’s crew, and Roscosmos engineers have been working on a permanent seal.<\/p>\n

In November, Rubins, Ryzhikov and Kud-Sverchkov are expected to greet NASA’s SpaceX first operational Crew Dragon mission comprising NASA astronauts Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Soichi Noguchi. It follows a successful Demo-2 mission earlier this year.<\/p>\n
