Watch live as the Soyuz MS-24 crew returns from the International Space Station (ISS) to Earth on Saturday, 6 April.
The capsule is carrying Nasa astronaut Loral O’Hara, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky, and spaceflight participant Marina Vasilevskaya of Belarus.
It is due for landing outside Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan.
O’Hara has been in space for 204 days; Novitsky and Vasilevskaya are returning after travelling out on a mission on 23 March on the Soyuz-M25 spacecraft with Tracy C Dyson who will remain aboard the station for a six-month research mission.
