Live coverage: International Space Station crew lands in Kazakhstan

Watch the briefing to learn what is aboard the Orbital ATK Cygnus OA-6 resupply freighter launching to the International Space Station on March 22 aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas-5 rocket.

Astronauts will likely perform a previously-unplanned demonstration of the Orion spacecraft’s deep space rendezvous capabilities in a high-altitude orbit around Earth on the crew capsule’s first piloted test flight, now scheduled for 2023. 

One week after two cosmonauts and a NASA astronaut arrived at the International Space Station for a six-month stay, the three crew members they’re replacing packed up their Soyuz spacecraft for a fiery plunge back to Earth Wednesday evening to close out a 196-day mission.
