Expedition 56 landed according to planned on January 3.

The Antares-3 spacecraft undocked from the ISS at 05:06:21 UTC on January 3rd. A separation burn a minute later, that lasted 5 seconds, pulled the Antares spacecraft away from the ISS. The second separation burn, this time lasting 10 seconds, increased the separation rate between it and the ISS even further. This was the final undocking of a manned spacecraft from the ISS, as the latter will be de-orbited later this year. De-orbit burn was made 15:42 UTC. After a nominal re-entry, the Antares deployed its parachutes, and landed at 16:39 UTC. The crew was checked, and were in good condition and health. The Expedition 56 crew spent 182 days docked to the ISS, and saw GTS-6, the first flight of the Delta Glider to the ISS, arrive.
