Crew Dragon spacecraft with Russian cosmonaut on board to depart from ISS on March 11 - NASA

WASHINGTON. March 6 (Interfax) - The United States' Crew Dragon manned spacecraft, manufactured by SpaceX, carrying a crew including Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov will depart from the International Space Station (ISS) on March 11, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said on Wednesday.

Borisov will return to Earth alongside NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, European Space Agency astronaut Andreas Mogensen, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Satoshi Furukawa as part of the completion of the SpaceX Crew 7 mission, which lasted in orbit for six and a half months.

The spacecraft is supposed to perform a soft water landing off the coast of Florida in the Atlantic after undocking with the ISS.

After the spacecraft's departure from the ISS, Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub, NASA astronaut Loral O'Hara, and the crew of the SpaceX Crew 8 mission which arrived at the ISS on March 5 comprising Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin and NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, and Jeanette Epps will continue working at the station.
