The Soyuz MSтАС28 spacecraft touched down at 5:27a.m. CDT (3:27 p.m. local time), completing a parachuteтАСassisted landing on the Kazakh steppe southeast of Dzhezkazgan.
NASA astronaut Chris Williams and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey KudтАСSverchkov and Sergei Mikaev wrapped up a 241тАСday mission, orbiting Earth 3,856 times and traveling more than 102 million miles. Soyuz MSтАС28 launched and docked with the International Space Station on Nov. 27, 2025. This flight marked the first mission for Williams and Mikaev and the second for KudтАСSverchkov.
After routine postтАСlanding medical checks, recovery teams will fly the crew by helicopter to Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Williams then will board a NASA aircraft bound for the agencyтАЩs Johnson Space Center in Houston.
