"Three Astronauts Safely Return to Earth in Soyuz Capsule from International Space Station"

A Russian Soyuz capsule carrying two women and one man safely landed in Kazakhstan after their missions aboard the International Space Station, while those remaining at the orbiting outpost include NASA astronauts and Russian cosmonauts. The delay in the crew's journey was due to a voltage drop in a power source during the initial launch attempt, resulting in a longer trip. The space station, a symbol of international cooperation, continues to operate amid tensions over Russia's military action in Ukraine, with plans to continue operations until 2030.

Record-setting space mission ends as astronauts return home after a year in orbit

A NASA astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts returned to Earth after being stuck in space for over a year due to their original ride being hit by space junk and losing its coolant. The American astronaut, Frank Rubio, set a record for the longest US spaceflight. The trio landed in Kazakhstan in a Soyuz capsule that was launched as a replacement. The extended stay turned their 180-day mission into a 371-day stay. The original capsule was suspected to have been pierced by space junk, leading to concerns about overheating. The astronauts were finally replaced and safely returned home.

Soyuz spacecraft relocated to new docking port at space station in joint mission.

NASA astronaut and two cosmonauts moved a Soyuz capsule from one docking port to another at the International Space Station to make way for a new cargo ship arriving later this year. The maneuver will also ensure that the original docking module is clear for cosmonauts to take spacewalks outside the station in April and May. The Soyuz will undock from the station on Sep. 27, carrying the crewmembers back to Earth.

Damaged Soyuz Capsule Safely Returns to Earth from Space Station

A Russian Soyuz MS-22 capsule carrying cargo and three astronauts, including one from NASA, returned to Earth after experiencing a coolant leak caused by a suspected small meteoroid hit in mid-December. The capsule landed in Kazakhstan and carried the results of scientific experiments. Another vessel, MS-23, is expected to bring the stranded crew back to Earth in September. Despite tensions between Moscow and Washington, space exploration remains a rare venue of cooperation between the two countries.

Uncrewed Soyuz spacecraft set to depart space station amidst leaks and damage.

The Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft, which suffered a coolant leak in December, will depart from the International Space Station without any astronauts aboard and land on the steppes of Kazakhstan on March 28. The capsule will carry science experiments and equipment, and a recovery team will retrieve it for study to better understand how the leak occurred and what a landing without coolant is like to aid in future missions.

Delayed Russian and American astronauts to return from space in September.

Two cosmonauts and an astronaut who were supposed to leave the International Space Station this month will be brought back to Earth in late September, doubling their time aboard the orbiting laboratory to more than a year, Russia's space agency announced Friday. The return of Russians Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin, and NASA's Frank Rubio was delayed after the Soyuz capsule they planned to ride in developed a coolant leak while docked to the space station.
