MOSCOW (AP) — A Russian space capsule with two women and one man safely landed in a steppe in Kazakhstan on Saturday after their missions aboard the International Space Station.

The Soyuz MS-24 carrying Russia’s Oleg Novitsky, NASA’s Loral O’Hara and Marina Vasilevskaya of Belarus touched down southeast of the remote town of Dzhezkazgan at 12:17 p.m. Kazakh time (0717 GMT).

Those remaining at the orbiting outpost are NASA astronauts Michael Barratt, Matthew Dominick, Tracy Dyson and Jeannette Epps as well as Russian cosmonauts Nikolai Chub, Alexander Grebenkin and Oleg Kononenko.

O’Hara arrived at the International Space Station on Sept. 15, 2023, spending a total of 204 days there, NASA said.

It contained replicas of early Soviet spacecraft and the serious young female guide told the stories of early cosmonauts who lost all their muscles after spending so long in space and had to be carried off when they returned. Those stories made me woozy and I had to step out for some air and the guide followed me out and asked what was wrong with me. And when I returned I saw the spacecraft of the first dog in space, Laika, who they didn't have the technology to bring back.
