Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergei Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin and NASA astronaut Frank Rubio returned to Earth after completing the longest mission in history on the International Space Station - they spent 371 days in space.
The seat of US astronaut Frank Rubio was moved from the faulty Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft to a US Crew Dragon spacecraft to ensure his safe return to Earth in the event of an emergency, the Russian space agency Roscosmos said on Wednesday.
The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will adjust the schedule of flights to the International Space Station (ISS) taking into account the incident with the Russian Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft and its consequences, the head of the US ISS program, Joel Montalbano said in a telephone press conference on Wednesday.
The temperature inside the Soyuz MS-22 crewed spacecraft never rose to 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit), Russia’s space corporation Roscosmos told the media on Friday.
