ISS crew lands in Kazakhstan after more than 200 days in space.
MOSCOW -- A U.S.-Russian crew landed safely Friday in the steppes of Kazakhstan following a stint on the International Space Station and was greeted with extra precautions due to the coronavirus.
Morgan wrapped up a 272-day mission on his first flight into space. He conducted seven space walks, four of which were to improve and extend the life of the station’s Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, which looks for evidence of dark matter in the universe. Morgan and Meir will have to be driven from Baikonur to Kyzylorda, 300 kilometers away, to board a NASA flight to Houston. Restrictions on international flights imposed by Kazakhstan required the long drive, Rogozhnikov said.
On Thursday, the Russian government coronavirus headquarters reported the first infection at the Star City, which serves as the main hub for pre-flight training of U.S., Russian and other international crew members of the International Space Station. The Star City also has residential quarters for cosmonauts and support staff.
