A Soyuz spacecraft carrying two U.S. astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut back to earth from the International Space Station landed safely in Kazakhstan today.
The spacecraft, containing Russian commander Fyodor Yurichikhin and NASA's Douglas Wheelock and Shannon Walker touched down as planned at 4.45am GMT north of the remote central Kazakh town of Arkalyk.
'We have a landing!' flashed the flight monitoring screens at mission control just outside Moscow.
All three crew members were in good health.
