The descent vehicle of the Soyuz MS-20 spacecraft with Russian cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin, Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa and his business assistant Yozo Hirano on board landed on Monday, December 20, in the steppes of Kazakhstan. This is reported on the website of Roscosmos.

"All operations on descent from orbit and landing were carried out in normal mode, the crew is feeling well," the message says.

It is planned that all three participants of the flight will arrive in the Star City on Monday evening to undergo rehabilitation and participate in post-flight scientific experiments. The crew's rehabilitation will last from 14 to 21 days, depending on the well-being of the cosmonaut and the participants of the space flight.


The Soyuz MS-20 spacecraft with space tourists was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome and docked to the ISS on December 8. The participants of the flight spent 12 days on the ISS.

At the cosmodrome, when leaving the Cosmonaut hotel, the crew of the ship was conducted to the song "Grass at Home" in Japanese. This song was recorded by the duo Deai - Japanese singer Natsuka Sugawara and Russian musician Vitaly Suntsev.

Maezawa is one of the richest people in Japan. First of all, he gained fame as the founder of the online clothing store Zozotown. In addition, he is engaged in collecting art objects and founded the Contemporary Art Foundation.

Yozo Hirano joined ZOZO after graduating from university with a degree in casting director of a photo group. He currently works as a producer at SPACETODAY. On the ISS, he was responsible for covering the flight of Yusaku Maezawa.
