US AND RUSSIAN ASTRONAUTS TOUCH DOWN IN KAZAKHSTAN

A Russian Soyuz capsule landed on the Kazakh steppe today, delivering a trio of astronauts from a four-month stint on the International Space Station.

The capsule, carrying U.S. astronaut Joseph Acaba and Russian cosmonauts Gennady Padalka and Sergei Revin, parachuted through a cloudless sky and touched down this morning.

The crew returned after spending 123 days in orbit aboard the International Space Station, a $100 billion research complex involving 15 countries.

The mission was shorter than the usual six months after launch delays caused by a problem with the initial Soyuz spacecraft.

Moscow hopes today’s smooth landing will help to ease concerns over relying solely on Russia to service the space station following a string of recent mishaps in its space programme.
