NASA astronaut, Russian cosmonauts prepare to land in Kazakhstan
CNN
NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei and Russian cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov will return to Earth Wednesday on Russian Soyuz spacecraft, landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan. Vande Hei's 355 days spent in space break the record previously set by Scott Kelly.
It's a highly anticipated return that has only drawn more attention due to mounting geopolitical tensions over the last month, and NASA has repeatedly reaffirmed that it continues to work closely with Russian space agency Roscosmos.
