Three ISS crew members have successfully returned to Earth
on board a Soyuz spacecraft that landed on the Kazakhstan steppe on Wednesday.
Two Russians and an American spent 166 days in space.
The landing capsule of Soyuz TMA-08M made a touchdown in the
planned area and the rescue operation didn’t take long, featuring 12 Mi-8
helicopters and three planes, as well as six rescue vehicles and 14 auxiliary
vehicles that were sent to recover the crew, the Russian aviation agency said.
