After a record-setting 328 continuous days in space, NASA astronaut Christina Koch returned to Earth Thursday, 6 February, with her European and Russian counterparts Luca Parmitano and Aleksandr Skvortsov, respectively.
The trio undocked from the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz MS-13 spacecraft at 00:50 EST (05:50 UTC) before initiating a deorbit burn two and a half hours later ahead of a 04:12 EST (09:12 UTC) landing on the steppes of Kazakhstan.
