"NASA Astronaut and Crew Return Safely from International Space Station Mission"

NASA astronaut Loral O’Hara, along with Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy and Belarus spaceflight participant Marina Vasilevskaya, safely returned to Earth after a six-month research mission aboard the International Space Station. O’Hara's mission, which supported NASA’s Artemis campaign, involved scientific activities such as investigating heart health, cancer treatments, and space manufacturing techniques. The trio departed the space station aboard the Soyuz MS-24 spacecraft and made a parachute-assisted landing in Kazakhstan. O’Hara's return marks the beginning of Expedition 71 aboard the station, while her crewmates continue their missions.
