This article is about a Russian spacecraft that landed safety in Kazakhstan, bring back astronauts from the International Space Station. Soyuz is a series of spacecraft design by the Soviet Space Program in the 1960s and is still used today. It is the main transportation to the International Space Station.
The spacecraft was carrying US astronaut Mike Fossum, Japan's Satoshi Furukawa, and Russia's Sergei Volkov. They spent 165 days in space. Their replacement, two Russian and one American, will arrive at the International Space Station on Wednesday. The Spacecraft landed at 8:47 am on Monday the 21st.
This voyage was the first manned voyage since August. When a cargo rocket crashed shortly after launching.
Thats so cool that they can spend so much time up in space. 165 days is such a long time. Thats also really cool that they still use this practically 50 years later after it was first used.
