Cosmonaut Ovchinin spoke about his good health after returning from the ISS

The crew of the Soyuz MS-26 spacecraft is feeling well after returning to Earth from the International Space Station (ISS). This was announced on April 24 by Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexei Ovchinin at a post-flight press conference at the cosmonaut training center.

"We are pleased that we have completed everything. We feel really good," he said.

According to him, it is most difficult and longest during the first flight to get used to the conditions of zero gravity, and later to the return of gravity. However, despite this, the body subsequently adapts faster.

On the same day, Ovchinin spoke about adapting to life on the ISS. According to him, it is necessary to get used to the constant noise level there.
