Astronaut Christina Koch Returns to Earth After Record-Setting Space Mission

NASA’s Christina Koch returned to earth safely after months of making giant leaps for female astronauts in space. Koch landed in Kazakhstan along with astronauts Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency and Russia’s Alexandr Skvortsov. The safe arrival marked the end of a record-setting stay at the ISS for Koch, who was stationed  there for 328 consecutive days. In other astronomical milestones, Koch also participated in the first-ever all-female spacewalk, along with Jessica Meir in October. Koch’s mission will help researchers thoroughly understand the impacts of space-living on the female body, helping scientists on plans for longterm deep-space exploration in the future.
