A crew of US and Russian astronauts were treated after landing off the coast of Florida on Friday. The four were onboard the ISS for over seven months, with Hurricane Milton delaying their return.
The ISS crew returned to Earth Friday, splashing down in the Gulf of Mexico near Pensacola, Florida
Three NASA astronauts and one Russian cosmonaut returned to Earth from the International Space Station (ISS) Friday after seven months in orbit.
The four, Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin had been scheduled to return two weeks ago but those plans had to be delayed due to weather disturbances caused by Hurricane Milton.NASA said the step had been taken “out of an abundance of caution,” and that “all crew members were flown to the facility together.”
No mention was made of why exactly the extra exams were necessary.
