"Preparations to Safely Return Astronauts from International Space Station"

Preparations are underway to bring back three astronauts who have spent nearly a year on the International Space Station (ISS), six months longer than planned, due to the catastrophic damage suffered by their Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft.
