The crew of the long-term expedition ISS-58/59 will return to Earth in June

The Soyuz MS-11 manned spacecraft with members of the long-term expedition to the ISS will return to Earth at the end of next month. It is reported by TASS with reference to information received from Roskosmos.

The apparatus "Soyuz MS-11", we recall, set off to the International Space Station (ISS) in early December last year. The launch was carried out from pad No. 1 (“Gagarinsky Start”) of the Baikonur Cosmodrome using a Soyuz-FG launch vehicle.

The spacecraft delivered the members of the long-term expedition ISS-58/59 into orbit: the crew included Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko, CSA astronaut David Saint-Jacques, and NASA astronaut Ann McClain.

As it is now reported, the crew of the Soyuz MS-11 spacecraft should return to Earth on June 25. Thus, the duration of the flight of the crew will be almost 200 days.

It should be noted that Oleg Kononenko and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexei Ovchinin will perform a spacewalk at the end of this month. They will have to do extravehicular activities.

We add that in early July, the Soyuz MS-13 manned spacecraft is to leave for the ISS with the next long-term expedition. It will include Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov, ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano and NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan.
