Cosmonaut Alexey Leonov made his flight 60 years ago.

Earlier in the day, the Crew Dragon Freedom c spacecraft successfully landed off the coast of Florida. In addition to Gorbunov, astronauts Nick Hague, Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore returned to Earth. Williams and Wilmore arrived at the ISS on June 6 last year. It was planned that the astronauts would evaluate the capabilities of the Starline capsule and return home in no more than 10 days, however, due to a number of technical problems and concerns, they remained on board the space station instead of other astronauts.
