Abu dhabi: to bring back to Earth the participants of the 74th long-term expedition to the International Space Station (ISS), according to Roscosmos, State Corporation for Space Activities.

According to Emirates News Agency, "The landing of the descent vehicle of the Soyuz MS-28 transport manned spacecraft will take place on July 26 in Kazakhstan. The crew includes participants of the completed 74th long-term expedition to the ISS: Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Mikayev, and NASA astronaut Christopher Williams," the state corporation said in a statement, carried by TASS.

The ship's undocking from the Rassvet module is scheduled for 10:03 a.m. Moscow time (07:03 a.m. GMT). After that, Soyuz MS-28 will go into autonomous flight, and at about 12:32 a.m. Moscow time (09:32 a.m. GMT), it will turn on the engines for braking and descend from orbit. The household and instrument-assembly compartments will separate from the lander, burning up in the dense layers of the atmosphere.

When the lander with the crew enters the dense layers, it will begin aeroballistic braking. As a result, a plasma cloud with a temperature of about 2,000 degrees will form around it, causing the heat shield layer to appear black and burnt in places after landing. The plasma cloud will also make communication with the ship's crew difficult for several minutes.
