ISS crew return to earth, now very different from the one they left last year

The three-person crew of the International Space Station returned to Earth on Friday morning, arriving back to a world that has been completely changed by the novel coronavirus outbreak.The NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Andrew Morgan along with Soyuz Commander Oleg Skripochka of the Russian space agency Roscosmos entered into is now very different from the one they left last year.

While crew members of the ISS are accustomed to living in isolation, this is not something they would look up to after their return to Earth.But as fate would have it, most people in the world are now learning to maintain “social distancing” in a bid to contain the spread of COVID-19 that has infected over 2 million people globally.

The trio departed the ISS at 9.53 pm EDT Thursday and made a safe, parachute-assisted landing at 1.16 am Friday in Kazakhstan (11.16 am local time), southeast of the remote town of Dzhezkazgan.

During their first spaceflight, Morgan and Meir contributed to hundreds of experiments in biology, Earth science, human research, physical sciences and technology development.Morgan’s nine-month mission began on July 20, 2019. His 272-day flight spanned Expeditions 60-62, encompassing a total of 4,352 Earth orbits and a journey of 115.3 million miles.

Morgan’s extended stay in space will increase knowledge about how the human body responds to longer-duration spaceflight, through the various investigations he supported, NASA said.Meir and Skripochka, who launched on the Soyuz MS-15 spacecraft on September 25, 2019, spent 205 days in space, making 3,280 orbits of Earth during a trip of 86.9 million miles.Skripochka is completing his third spaceflight for a cumulative 536 days in orbit.
