MOSCOW, April 6. /TASS/. The Soyuz MS-24 spacecraft undocked from the Rassvet module of the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS), according to a Roscosmos broadcast of the undocking.
The first Belarusian female participant in the space flight, Marina Vasilevskaya, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky and NASA astronaut Loral O’Hara are on their way back to Earth after a two-week expedition to the ISS.
The spacecraft is expected to land 147 km southeast of Zhezqazghan in Kazakhstan at about 10:18 a.m. Moscow time (8:18 a.m. GMT — TASS) on Saturday.

On board the ISS, Vasilevskaya carried out a research program consisting of five projects and two tasks in the field of medicine, biology, physiology and remote sensing of the Earth. She captured spectral photo and video images of the Earth’s surface and carried out experiments titled Lactoferrin and Uragan.
