Space station crew lands in Kazakhstan
A space capsule carrying three astronauts from the International
Space Station (ISS) has landed in the steppe of Kazakhstan about 35
kilometers from the planned landing site, Radio Liberty
reported.
Aboard the capsule were Russia's Yuri Malenchenko, Japan's Akihiko
Hoshide, and Sunita Williams of the U.S. who just completed a
126-day mission on the ISS.
Russian space control said that "due to a minimal delay in
procedures" the capsule missed its target set-down site, but
helicopters and search-and-rescue crews arrived shortly after the
ship landed.
Russian cosmonauts Oleg Novitsky and Yevgeny Tarelkin and American
astronaut Kevin Ford remain aboard the ISS.
They arrived there on a five-month mission in late October.
They will be joined by three more astronauts in December.
