U.S.-Russian space crew lands safely in Kazakhstan after 8-month ISS mission
A joint U.S.-Russian space crew, consisting of NASA astronaut Chris Williams and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergei Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev, landed safely in the steppes of Kazakhstan on July 26, 2026, after an eight-month (241-day) mission aboard the International Space Station. Their Soyuz MS-28 capsule touched down smoothly by parachute in a designated area southeast of Dzhezkazgan. The mission was the first spaceflight for Williams and Mikaev, and the second for Kud-Sverchkov. The landing marks the successful conclusion of their extended stay on the orbiting outpost.
