Russian space capsule with 3 astronauts lands in Kazakhstan 3 June 2018 The astronauts will later be taken to Karaganda, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) to the northeast. There they will undergo a longer medical exam and then be flown either to Moscow or Houston. The orbiting laboratory now has a crew of three: Americans Drew Feustel and Ricky Arnold and Russian Oleg Artemyev. Another three astronauts are to be launched to the space station on Wednesday from the Baikonur complex in Kazakhstan. © 2018 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

The return of the Soyuz space capsule with Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, U.S. astronaut Scott Tingle, and Japanese astronaut Norishige Kanai, crew members of the mission to the International Space Station, ISS is scheduled on Sunday, June 3, 2018. (AP Photo/Dmitri Lovetsky, Pool) A Russian Soyuz space capsule carrying three astronauts from the International Space Station has landed safely in the steppes of Kazakhstan. The capsule hit the ground at 6:39 p.m. (1239 GMT) Sunday without apparent problems, descending under a red-and-white parachute. Aboard were Russian Anton Shkaplerov, American Scott Tingle and Japan's Norishige Kanai, ending a 168-day mission. All three were extracted from the capsule within 30 minutes. They appeared to be in good condition as they sat in lounge-type chairs near the capsule so they could re-adjust to the pull of gravity. 1 / 2 APA citation: Russian space capsule with 3 astronauts lands in Kazakhstan (2018, June 3) retrieved 28 September 2021 from https://phys.org/news/2018-06-russian-space-capsule-astronauts-kazakhstan.html This document is subject to copyright.

Icons on the International Space Station
religions Article Eternity in Low Earth Orbit: Icons on the International Space Station Wendy Salmond 1, Justin Walsh 1 and Alice Gorman 2,* 1 Department of Art, Chapman University, Orange, CA 92866, USA; [email protected] (W.S.); [email protected] (J.W.) 2 Department of Archaeology, Flinders University, Bedford Park, SA 5042, Australia * Correspondence: alice.gorman@flinders.edu.au Received: 15 October 2020; Accepted: 10 November 2020; Published: 17 November 2020 Abstract: This paper investigates the material culture of icons on the International Space Station as part of a complex web of interactions between cosmonauts and the Russian Orthodox Church, reflecting contemporary terrestrial political and social affairs. An analysis of photographs from the International Space Station (ISS) demonstrated that a particular area of the Zvezda module is used for the display of icons, both Orthodox and secular, including the Mother of God of Kazan and Yuri Gagarin. The Orthodox icons are frequently sent to space and returned to Earth at the request of church clerics. In this process, the icons become part of an economy of belief that spans Earth and space. This practice stands in contrast to the prohibition against displaying political/religious imagery in the U.S.-controlled modules of ISS. The icons mark certain areas of ISS as bounded sacred spaces or hierotopies, separated from the limitless outer space beyond the space station walls. Keywords: International Space Station; iconography; hierotopy; material culture; sacred space; cosmonaut 1. Introduction How the perspective of being outside the world—that is, in space—changes personal approaches to spirituality among space travelers has been the subject of numerous studies (e.g., Suedfeld 2006; Weibel 2016, 2020; Weibel and Swanson 2006).
