Nasa's Kjell Lindgren, Russia's Oleg Kononenko and Kimiya
Yui of Japan returned to Earth in their Soyuz TMA-17M capsule after 141 days in
space.
They touched down on schedule north east of Dzhezkazgan in
Kazakhstan.
Mr Kononenko reported to Russian Mission Control that the
crew was feeling fine as the capsule descended on parachute before landing
softly in darkness in the wind-swept snowy steppes.
Expedition 46 Commander Scott Kelly of Nasa and crewmates
Mikhail Kornienko and Sergey Volkov of Roscosmos remain on the station. They
will be joined by three new crew members next Tuesday, including British
astronaut Tim Peake.
