6 months of exploration completed – SpaceX astronauts return to Earth

Cape Canaveral:

Four NASA astronauts left for the International Space Station last April aboard SpaceX’s shuttle. After spending about 6 months in the space station, they returned to Earth yesterday. Their spacecraft landed in the Atlantic Ocean in Florida, USA.

The spacecraft parachuted into the ocean near Jacksonville, Florida, about five hours after leaving the space station. SpaceX sent other astronauts last week to replace the astronauts who returned to Earth. There are currently 3 Americans, 3 Russians and a Japanese on board the space station.
