After spending 371 days in space and making 5,963 orbits of the Earth, NASA astronaut Frank Rubio has returned to Earth, alongside Russian cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin. The trio departed from the ISS aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft and landed in Kazakhstan at around 4:48pm IST. Rubio's historic mission on the International Space Station (ISS) surpasses the previous American record of 355 days, held by NASA's Mark Vande Hei.
