Touchdown! 

A Soyuz spacecraft is seen as it lands with astronaut Shane Kimbrough of NASA and Russian Flight Engineers Sergey Ryzhikov and Andrey Borisenko near the town of Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan on Monday, April 10. Kimbrough, Ryzhikov, and Borisenko are returning after 173 days in space onboard the International Space Station. 

While living and working aboard the space station, the crew members contributed to hundreds of experiments in biology, biotechnology, physical science and Earth science aboard the world-class orbiting laboratory. For example, the Microgravity Expanded Stem Cells investigation had crew members observe cell growth and other characteristics in microgravity. 

Results from this investigation could lead to the treatment of diseases and injury in space, and provide a way to improve stem cell production for medical therapies on Earth. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)

What’s next for NASA? In 2019, we’re once again preparing for human missions to the Moon. We’re keeping the promise by developing new systems and spacecraft, making innovations in flight and technology, living and doing science on the International Space Station, and delivering images and discoveries from our home planet, our solar system and beyond.

Mission 6

A small thing I had with an astronaut and a cosmonaut in space. They have alien friends and they live on the moon. Apollo is American and Vlad is Russian and end up becoming more than friends.

Martian origami. The little Sojourner Mars Rover sits on the left petal of the Mars Pathfinder lander, Oct 1996. Sojourner weighed just 23 pounds (10.6kg) & became the 1st rover to operate beyond the moon when it landed in 1997. Pathfinder was the 1st successful lander on Mars by NASA since the 2 Viking missions in 1976. Sojourner was expected to operate between 1-4 weeks yet it served for 3 months, gathering important data on Mars for scientists back home.
