Space friendship American astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian cosmonaut Viktor Kornienki successful. After a year orbiting International Space Station successfully returned to Earth.
See you at the bottom!
Kelly became famous thanks to social media. His Facebook profile is nearly a million fans and the same on Twitter. Today we say goodbye after year relationship he wrote, “Thanks for keeping track of my entries for this year. This trip has not yet come to an end. Be with me when again I discovered the Earth. I’ll see you down there!”
kelly is 52 years old, is a military pilot, an engineer, commander of the US navy, has a twin brother, also an astronaut Mark kelly.
Mission
on board the Space Station Alpha reached in March last year., together with Mikhail Kornienko. The aim of their annual mission was to study how the human body reacts and adapts to difficult conditions in which astronauts are staying. The results of the research have shown that man can fly to Mars. Scientists will test how long time in weightlessness affects the movement of fluids in the body and how it affects the body’s resistance or catching. In total, Scott Kelly conducted on a 400 experiments.

Kelly He is the first American in space who spent up to 12 months. During the mission, scientists observed the reactions of his twin brother Mike Kelly, a retired astronaut. As experts say NASA, also these observations to help understand and counteract the negative effects of space flight on the human body.
PHOTOS sPACE
Scott Kelly won the hearts of surfers fantastic images of the cosmos, and a sense of humor. This video posted a week before the tag “monkey in space” – I decided to go all out, written by placing a video.
But this is not unusual beauty, fascinating photos from the deck of the space station, its profile to love people all over the world . It shows red and green aurora borealis:
I DO NOT freak out
one of the fans of Kelly built upon the US President, Barack Obama. NASA reminded just exchange their posts. Obama wrote then: Hey, Kelly, I love these pictures. Have you ever looked out the window, just not freaking? Kelly wrote: – Mr. President, I never freak out. Unless you get a question on Twitter from the Lord.
STAGES RETURN
NASA showed live all stages of the return of Kelly built upon, Kornienki and Sergei Volkov on Earth. Here, the moment in which Kelly transmits the command station Alpha in the hands of Tim Kopra.
The next steps to detach the capsule from the space station, the passage through the atmosphere and landing.
LANDING
the lander Soyuz is bell shaped and is quite small in the middle of the free space is only 2.5 m³. It will return to Earth three cosmonauts. There is a life support system and flight management system. The capsule is equipped with two large parachutes, which slow down the fall in the final stage of landing.
In the heat shield are placed a soft landing engines, and on the outer surface of the small thrusters location of the lander during the passage through the dense layers of the atmosphere. This allows you to take advantage of aerodynamics capsule and reduce the overload to which they are subjected cosmonauts.
The base of the capsule is protected by a thermal shield. After opening the main parachute is rejected. The parachute opens stabilizing at about 9 km at a speed of cabin 240 m / s. When it is reduced to 90 m / s, which normally occurs at about 7.5 km, the main parachute opens, so that the capsule decelerates to a speed of 6 m / s. Just before landing included are small rockets brake, so that the lander descends to Earth at a speed of 2-4 m / s.
The landing will take place this morning in the vicinity of the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. On Earth, waiting for them Russian-American team of rescuers and employees of NASA.
And so Kelly said goodbye to his wife a year ago, before the flight into space:
