We Assume The MS-22 Soyuz Is In Russian Hands, As Of This Morning In Kazakhstan -- But No Video Proves It.

The claim by the Russian government is that the Soyuz MS-22 made a soft, parachute assisted landing on a high plateau inside the interior of Kazakhstan. I'll accept that as true, absent evidence from US radar or satellites in conflict with it.

Here's today's mid-morning NASA blog entry on the parts it could observe -- from the ISS:

. . .The uncrewed Roscosmos Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft made an automated, parachute-assisted landing in Kazakhstan at 7:46 a.m. EDT (5:46 p.m. Kazakhstan time) on Tuesday after undocking from the International Space Station at 5:57 a.m.

Remaining aboard the station is the seven-person crew of Expedition 69 with Station Commander Sergey Prokopyev of Roscosmos, NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen, Woody Hoburg, and Frank Rubio, UAE (United Arab Emirates) astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, and Roscosmos cosmonauts Andrey Fedyaev and Dmitri Petelin. . . .

Next week, the MS-23 replacement will be moved into position in a bay on the ISS. . . to prep for the three to fly home in it. It has performed flawlessly, through this morning. Onward, smiling. . . .
