After nearly four decades, a private space flight carrying astronauts from India, Poland and Hungary landed in the Pacific Ocean on Tuesday. The SpaceX capsule carrying them separated from the International Space Station on Monday.

In about 24 hours, the astronauts landed by parachute on a beach in Southern California.

Three weeks ago, a crew of four was launched into space on a chartered flight by Houston company Axiom Space. India's Subhanshu Shukla, Poland's Sławosz Uznanski–Wisniewski and Hungary's Tibor Kapu went on the spacewalk under the command of Axiom's Peggy Whitson, the most experienced American astronaut. This is astronaut Axiom's fourth mission since 2022. 

For the mission, the respective countries paid more than 65 million dollars each for their astronauts. Visiting astronauts conducted dozens of experiments in space. India, Poland and Hungary last launched into space together with the Soviets in the late 1980s.
