A Soyuz spacecraft carrying three International Space Station crewmembers touched down on the steppes of Kazakhstan Thursday morning. The Soyuz TMA-11M spacecraft landed at 9:58 pm EDT Wednesday (0158 GMT, 7:58 am local time Thursday) southeast of the town of Dzhezkazgan, Kazakhstan, after a normal reentry. The Soyuz had undocked from the ISS several hours earlier.
