The landing was reported by Roscosmos, and the astronauts were seen smiling during a live stream. Mikhailov stated he felt well, and all three would undergo medical checks. This marks the end of the 74th long-term expedition on the ISS, which included the first medical evacuation of an ISS crew member in history. The mission involved ten astronauts who conducted 259 scientific experiments across various fields. The ISS now has a seven-member crew, with Kud-Svetskov handing over command to NASA astronaut Jessica Meir, who will lead the 75th expedition until early 2027. Despite Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine, U.S.-Russian cooperation continues on the ISS.
