[b]Soyuz MS-09 undocks from space station[/b] Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Prokopyev, NASA astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor and Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency departed the International Space Station to return to Earth on Thursday (Dec. 19), undocking their Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft from the Rassvet module at 7:40 p.m. CST (0140 GMT). Due to an issue with Prokopyev's communications cable connector, he was unable to talk directly with Mission Control with his Sokol pressure suit's helmet closed. Gerst took over that role during the crew's descent. A deorbit burn at 10:10 p.m. CST (0410 GMT) set up a landing southeast of the town of Dzhezkazgan, Kazakhstan at 11:03 p.m. CST (0503 GMT).
