Three astronauts and one cosmonaut returned to Earth from the International Space Station after spending almost eight months in orbit, according to the US space agency Nasa.
Early on Friday local time, the Americans returned to the country Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt and Jeanette Epps and Russian Alexander Greben too.
Those who returned from space were picked up from the sea off the coast of Florida, where the ship landed.
The return flight of the quartet that flew into space at the beginning of March was delayed by almost two months. According to CNN, the reason for the delays was, among other things, the return of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, which suffered from problems, from the space station empty, and the bad weather conditions in the landing area.
