NASA Astronaut Jonny Kim Returns to Houston | Johnson Space Center
NASA astronaut Jonny Kim returned to Earth on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, concluding an eight-month science mission aboard the International Space Station. This was Kim’s first spaceflight. Kim and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritsky of Russia orbited Earth 3,920 times and traveled nearly 104 million miles over the course of their 245-day mission. The Soyuz MS-27 spacecraft launched and docked with the International Space Station on April 8, 2025. After the Soyuz MS-27 spacecraft landed in Kazakhstan, Kim boarded a NASA Gulfstream V that took him back to Ellington Field in Houston, Texas, while Ryzhikov and Zubritsky departed for their training base in Star City, Russia. Kim's flight landed in Houston on December 10. As he stepped off the plane, he was greeted by NASA leadership, family, and his fellow astronauts.
