A Russian Soyuz capsule made a "bull's eye" landing in the steppes of Kazakhstan yesterday, delivering a Russian-American trio from the International Space Station, a day after its originally scheduled touchdown was delayed by bad weather.
Nasa's Kevin Ford and Russian cosmonauts Oleg Novitskiy and Evgeny Tarelkin, who had manned the ISS since October, landed in cloudy weather at 7.06am local time northeast of the town of Arkalyk.
They had spent 144 days aboard the multinational ISS on their space journey of almost 61 million miles.
