Two members of the International Space Station crew safely returned to Earth early Thursday in a Soyuz spacecraft.

On board the spacecraft were NASA astronaut Jeff Williams and Russian cosmonaut Max Suraev, who each spent 167 days on the station. Three other people, Oleg Kotov, Soichi Noguchi, and T.J. Creamer, remain on the ISS, and will be joined by three others when a new Soyuz spacecraft is launched on April 2.
