NASA, Russian astronauts begin their trip home from ISS

00:38

NASA's Jonny Kim and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritsky are on their way back to Earth.

Their spacecraft Soyuz MS-27 separated from the International Space Station after 245 days in orbit. They traveled about 104 million miles and completed over 3,900 laps around Earth. This was Kim and Zubritsky's first long mission and the third for Ryzhikov.

Their spacecraft is aiming for a parachute-assisted landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan.
