Astronaut Christina Koch tries on her Sokol launch and entry suit
iss061e145951 (Jan. 28, 2020) --- NASA astronaut Christina Koch tries on the Sokol launch and entry suit she will wear when she returns to Earth on Feb. 6 with fellow International Space Station crewmembers Luca Parmitano of ESA (European Space Agency) and Alexander Skvortsov of Roscosmos. The trio will board the Soyuz MS-13 crew ship, undock from the Poisk module and parachute to a landing in Kazakhstan. When Koch lands, her mission-stay will be the second longest single spaceflight by a U.S. astronaut behind former astronaut Scott Kelly. He lived aboard the station for 340 continuous days.
