Russian-US space station crew returns to Earth

A Soyuz capsule carrying two Russian cosmonauts and a US astronaut from the International Space Station (ISS) landed in Kazakhstan on Friday, Russian space officials said.

The Soyuz TMA-22 parachuted down onto the steppe in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan, landing roughly on schedule and on target north of the town of Arkalyk after a three-hour descent from the orbital outpost. (Reuters)
