Soyuz returns to Earth
Posted: Wed, Mar 16, 2011, 6:35 AM ET (1035 GMT)
A Soyuz spacecraft carrying three ISS crewmembers safely landed Wednesday morning in Kazakhstan. The Soyuz TMA-01M spacecraft undocked from the station's Poisk module at 12:27 am EDT (0427 GMT) and landed in snowy terrain northeast of the town of Arkalyk, Kazkhastan, at 3:54 am EDT (0754 GMT). On board the Soyuz were NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian cosmonauts Alexander Kaleri and Oleg Skripochka, returning from 159 days in space. The landing appeared to take place normally, after earlier concerns about technical glitches with the Soyuz spacecraft, the first of a new model with a digital control system.
