The liftoff for this crew meant UAE astronaut Sultan AlNeyadi's return to Earth will be happening soon.

In a previous interview, Dubai's space authorities said once Crew-7 launches, "it could be a week to 10 days before Sultan returns".

Nasa earlier said AlNeyadi and his Crew-6 colleagues will return to Earth "no earlier than September 1".
