The Soyuz MS-27 spacecraft backs ways from the International Space Station

iss074e0000129 (Dec. 9, 2025) --- The Soyuz MS-27 spacecraft--carrying NASA astronaut Jonny Kim and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritsky--backs away from the International Space Station moments after undocking from the Poisk module while orbiting 265 miles above the frozen landscape of northwest Asia. The trio parachuted to Earth less than three-and-a-half hours later inside the Soyuz descent module completing a 245-day space research mission aboard the orbital outpost.
