Today at 14:59 Moscow time, the descent vehicle of the Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft with cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chub, and astronaut Tracy Dyson landed near the Kazakh city of Zhezkazgan.

The closing of the transition hatches between the spacecraft and the “Berth” module of the Russian segment of the ISS occurred at 08:50 Moscow time. In the household compartment of Soyuz MS-25, Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chub and Tracy Dyson checked the tightness of the transition hatches and put on the Sokol-KV2 escape suits, then moved into the descent vehicle of the spacecraft, closed the hatch to the household compartment and checked the tightness of the hatch and spacesuits.

The crew lived on the International Space Station for a whole year: the cosmonauts conducted scientific experiments, took ships and went into outer space, and took incredible pictures of our planet. But it was time to return to Earth.

In the morning, the spacecraft was undocked from the Berth module. Its deorbiting and descent to Earth went smoothly!
