A Soyuz house capsule carrying a cosmonaut and two Russian filmmakers has separated from the International Space Station and is heading for the Earth
The separation occurred on schedule at 0115 GMT Sunday with Oleg Novitskiy, Yulia Peresild and Klim Shipenko aboard for a descent of about 3 1/2 hours.
Actress Peresild and movie director Shipenko rocketed to the house station on Oct. 5 for a 12-day stint on the station to movie segments of a film titled “Problem,” during which a surgeon performed by Peresild rushes to the house station to save lots of a crew member who wants an pressing operation in orbit. Novitskiy, who spent greater than six months aboard the house station, performs the ailing cosmonaut within the film.
The house capsule is to land within the steppes of Kazakhstan
Seven astronauts stay aboard the house station: Russia’s Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov; Americans Mark Vande Hei, Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur; Thomas Pesquet of the European Area Company; and Japan’s Aki Hoshide.
