Read Time:2 Minute, 19 Second

Arusia’s actor and film director have returned to earth after spending 12 days at the shooting scene of the International Space Station for the first film in orbit. Yulia Peresild and Klim Shipenko landed as scheduled to Steppe Kazakhstan on Sunday, according to Footage Broadcast directly by the Russian space agency. They were transported back to Terra Firma by Cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky, who had been at the Space Station for the past six months. “The descendant of the Soyuz MS-18 crew spacecraft stands upright and safe. The crew feels good!” Russian Space Agency Roscosmos tweeted.

The filmmakers have exploded from Russian Russian Baiikur Kosmodrom in Kazakhstan earlier this month, traveling to the ISS with Veteran Cosmonot Anton Shkaplerov to the film scene for challenges.

If the project remains on track, the Russian crew will defeat the Hollywood project announced last year by Mission Impossive Star Tom Cruise along with Spacex NASA and Elon Musk.

The film plot, mostly resolved by its budget, is centered on a surgeon sent to the ISS to save the cosmonaut.

Shkaplerov, 49, along with two Russian cosmonauts that have risen iss, said to have a cameo role in this film.

The mission is not without a small obstacle. When the film crew docked in the ISS earlier this month, SHKAPLEROV must switch to manual control. And when the Russian flight controller on Friday conducted a test on the Soyuz MS-18 spacecraft which was fired by the ship suddenly and was not tortured for 30 minutes, a NASA spokesman told the Russian news agency.

Their landing, documented by the film crew, will also display films, Constantine Ernst, Head of the Kremlin Channel Channel and Co-producer challenges, to AFP.

The mission will add to the first long list for the Russian space industry.

The Soviet launched the first Satellite Sputnik, and sent to the first animal orbit, a dog called Laika, first man, Yuri Gagarin, and the first woman, Valentina Tereshkova.

But compared to the Soviet era, modern Russia has struggled to innovate and the space industry struggled to secure state funds with the Kremlin which prioritized military spending.

The space agency still depends on the technology designed by Soviets and faces a number of setbacks, including corruption scandals and failed launches.

Russia is also left behind in the race of global space, facing intense competition from the US and China, with Beijing showing a growing ambition in this industry.

Russy Russia was also a blow after Spacex last year managed to convey astronauts to the ISS, ending Moscow’s monopoly to travel to orbital stations.

In an effort to tidy up its image and diversify its income, the Russian Space Program revealed this year that it would revive its pariwal plan for adventurers who pay ferry fees to ISS.
