Army officer to return to Earth after 272-day mission in space

By Ronald Bailey, USASMDCApril 15, 2020

 

REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. – U.S. Army Col. Andrew “Drew” Morgan will depart from the International Space Station to return to earth aboard a Soyuz “Union” MS-15 spacecraft April 17, at 1:17 a.m. EDT, following his 272-day mission as a part of Expeditions 60, 61 and 62.

“Twenty-five years ago I made the decision to serve my country as a military officer. I view my nine-month mission to the space station as a continuation of that service. It’s been a real honor for me to represent the U.S. military on board the ISS during some of the most intense operations in its history.” Morgan said.
