The astronauts arrived at the International Space Station in November 2021.
The crewmembers have spent their time in space performing scientific research in microgravity conditions, conducting spacewalks outside the station, sharing their experiences of space with people on the ground, and enjoying the gorgeous scenery afforded by their unique location 250 miles above Earth. They were able to find time for dancing.
It is time to come home.
The crew will undock from the space station. It will show the capsule edging away from the station as the crew members begin their journey home. Audio feeds between the astronauts and Mission Control will also form part of the coverage.
