After the epidemic affected space activities, astronauts lamented that the earth was "different" after landing

Original title: Astronauts on the space station landed and lamented that the earth is "different"

　　Three astronauts on the International Space Station ended their missions for several months and returned to Earth on the 17th. While they were in space, the new coronary pneumonia epidemic spread and space activities were also affected. An astronaut sighed after landing, the earth is "different, but still beautiful."

　　Russian astronaut Oleg Skripochka and American astronauts Andrew Morgan and Jessica Mayr landed in Kazakhstan that day.

　　Morgan entered the space station last July, and the other two arrived last September. The Russian Space Agency and the National Aeronautics and Space Center of the United States made no exceptions and did not broadcast the return module to open the parachute landing process. The Russian Space Agency said that this was due to "technical restrictions" caused by the new crown epidemic.

　　Subsequent screens showed that the ground responders wore masks and gloves and took the three astronauts out of the cabin. One person on the ground said to another: "Please keep your distance."

　　Due to the closure of Karaganda Airport in Kazakhstan due to the outbreak, the three astronauts were unable to fly back there as usual. Scripocka will fly back to Russia from the Baikonur Space Center in Kazakhstan. Two American astronauts will have to take a few hours by car and then take a plane in the city of Kyzyl Orda.

　　Mayer tweeted later that day: "We return to a different planet, but it is still beautiful."

　　Mayer and colleague Christina Kirk partnered to complete the first human all-women spacewalk in October last year. Before departing from the space station and talking about the widespread measures to maintain social distance to prevent the spread of the virus, Meyer said: "I think I will feel more lonely on earth than here."

　　Two Russian astronauts and an American astronaut took off from Baikonur launch site on the 9th to replace them. During the launch preparation, astronauts at the new station received strict epidemic prevention measures, including a two-week quarantine.

　　However, Russia ’s Komsomolskaya Pravda reported that Miklin, the chief designer of the Russian manned spaceflight system and the first deputy general manager of the Energy Rocket Space Company, was diagnosed with the new crown virus on the 14th. He had previously seen the new station astronauts. Russian National Aerospace Corporation said on the 17th that Miklin did not have direct contact during the exchange with the astronauts, but communicated across the glass wall. (Hui Xiaoshuang)
