The Russian cosmonaut Anatoli Ivanishin, his japanese colleague, Takuya Onishi, and the american astronaut Kate Rubins returned to the Earth Sunday, after 115 days on the ISS, a mission in which the u.s. became the first person to sequence DNA in the space.
The three astronauts landed, as usual, on the steppes of Kazakhstan to the 03H58 GMT, after spending 115 days on a mission in orbit on the International Space Station ( ISS ), during which Rubins became the first person to sequence strands of DNA in the space.
“The landing is completed!”, indicated the drivers are russians. The television of the NASA reported that the craft touched ground in a vertical position.
Robins, an expert in molecular biology, joined the program in 2009.
for her and for Onishi this was his first trip to space, in so much that the commander Ivanishin had already made a mission of five months at the ISS five years ago.
The NASA images showed Robins smiling after being the last to leave the module space.
“All over the world are feeling great,” said Ivanishin, in remarks translated from Russian.
The three astronauts will be moved to the city in kazakhstan and Karaganda, from where Ivanishin will head to the City of the Stars, in the outskirts of Moscow, where will be devoted to the work subsequent to the mission. In the meantime, Rubins and Onishi will be transferred to Houston.
His return to earth marks the first full mission for the new generation of Soyuz.
The trip had to be delayed two weeks because Russia had to perform additional tests to the application that handles the new vehicle Soyuz MS-01.
