Soyuz IX Cosmonauts Andrian G. Nikolayev and Vitaly I. Sevastyanov returned to Moscow and complained of having "heavy bodies" in adjusting to earth gravity after 17-day space flight and 1 day on ground. Doctors escorted cosmonauts to hotel for extensive physical examinations and start of 10-day debriefing. Later Tass said cosmonauts were "quickly adapting, What was heavy an hour ago is becoming light." Initial results of debriefing under precautionary quarantine indicated "condition of health, working efficiency and the general tone of the cosmonauts are much higher than medical men expected."
