Russian spacecraft lands safely in Kazakhstan

The Soyuz TMA-05M manned spacecraft touched down early on Monday ending its three-and-a-half hour voyage to bring three International Space Station (ISS) crew members to Earth after 127 days in orbit.           

The spacecraft carrying Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko, NASA astronaut Sunita Williams and JAXA astronaut Akihiko Hoshide undocked from ISS at 2:26 Monday and landed on schedule northeast of the town of Arkalyk in Kazakhstan at 5:53.                

A mission control spokesman said, citing the rescue team, that the crew’s physical condition was “normal” after the landing.                  

Three planes, 12 helicopters and six rescue vehicles were deployed to the area to ensure a quick search and recovery of the returning crew from the landing capsule.
