Watch as NASA astronaut Chris Williams wraps up an 8-month mission aboard the International Space Station by exchanging farewells before departure. This was his first mission to space.
He and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev will then enter the Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft.
After the hatch is closed, the spacecraft is scheduled to undock from the orbiting laboratory’s Rassvet module at 3:03 a.m. EDT (0703 UTC) Sunday, July 26, heading for a parachute-assisted landing at 6:25 a.m. EDT (1025 UTC) on the steppe of Kazakhstan.

![NASA: 2025 Review and 2026 Preview
In 2025, we stacked the Artemis II rocket, certified next-generation lunar spacesuits, celebrated 25 years on the International Space Station, and snapped the closest pictures ever taken of the Sun.
We’re not just going back to the Moon in 2026 – we’re paving the way to Mars, exploring the stars, and dominating the skies, setting the stage for a historic year ahead.
