Raumfahrt: Vier Astronauten von der ISS zur Erde zurückgekehrt
Vor wenigen Tagen war ihre Ablösung in Rekordzeit zur ISS geflogen, jetzt ist die „Crew 12“ zurückgekehrt. Zwei US-Amerikaner, ein Russe und eine Französin sind sicher wieder auf der Erde.
After approximately eight months in space, four astronauts have returned to Earth from the International Space Station (ISS). Jessica Meir, a NASA astronaut, Jack Hathaway, a colleague, Russian cosmonaut Andrei Fedyaev, and French astronaut Sophie Adenot landed their SpaceX "Dragon" capsule in the Pacific Ocean near Los Angeles.
The crew, known as "Crew 12," had been in space since February. It marked Hathaway and Adenot's first ISS visit, while Fedyaev and Meir were returning for their second. The team also conducted four spacewalks during their mission. They were replaced by NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Russian cosmonaut Sergey Teterjatnikov just a few days prior.
According to NASA, the crew spent about 7 hours and 55 minutes traveling from Earth to the ISS, making it the shortest time ever for a US spacecraft to launch, travel, and dock with the space station.
