McClain and Saint-Jacques will be completing their first flights into space. Saint-Jacques\u2019 mission will be the longest single spaceflight by a Canadian astronaut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After landing, the crew will return by helicopter to the recovery staging area in Karaganda, Kazakhstan, where McClain and Saint-Jacques will board a NASA plane for their return to Houston, and Kononenko will return to his home in Star City, Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also on June 24, NASA TV will broadcast live coverage of the launch of the Department of Defense\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spacex.com\/stp-2\" rel=\"noopener\">Space Test Program-2<\/a> (STP-2) mission on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
