After spending 22 days in space, Swedish astronaut Lieutenant Colonel Marcus Wandt and his colleagues have returned to Earth. The landing took place at 14:30 Swedish time in the sea off the coast of Florida. The entire landing was streamed live on SpaceX's website.
At a speed of 27,000 kilometres per hour, or 7.5 kilometres per second, the capsule entered the atmosphere. After being picked up by a ship, the astronauts were released from the capsule and could breathe fresh air for the first time since the night between 18 and 19 January.
The return journey was repeatedly delayed due to unfavourable weather conditions. Although the original plan was a two-week stay at the ISS space station, it became a longer stay of 18 days. Normally, the journey between the space station and Earth takes about two days.
