Original Entry: The Soyuz MS-27 crew is scheduled to return to Earth on December 9, 2025 UTC.
NASA has not released the details as of November 29, but other sources say undocking from the ISS will be at 01:40 UTC, which is December 8 at 8:40 pm EST. It takes about 3.5 hours from undocking to landing, so landing could be very late on December 8 or very early on December 9 EST.
They arrived on the ISS on April 8, 2025.
The three crewmembers are:
- Sergey Ryzhikov, Roscosmos
- Aleksey Zubritsky, Roscosmos
- Jonny Kim, NASA
