A three-member U.S.-Russian space crew returned safely to Earth on Sunday, completing a 241-day mission aboard the International Space Station.
NASA astronaut Chris Williams and Russian cosmonauts Sergei Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev landed aboard the Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft in the steppes of Kazakhstan. The capsule descended by parachute and touched down in a designated recovery zone southeast of Dzhezkazgan.
The landing concluded roughly eight months in orbit for the crew, who had been living and working aboard the International Space Station.
The mission marked the first spaceflight for Williams and Mikaev. Kud-Sverchkov completed his second trip to space.
The Soyuz capsule’s successful return brought the international crew back to Earth after more than seven months of research, station operations and life in microgravity.
