Astronauts Return Safely to Earth From Space Station

|Updated:

Three members of the International Space Station’s crew returned safely to Earth on Dec. 20, landing in Kazakhstan on a Russian Soyuz craft, NASA reported.

It was the first return from the space station since October, when U.S. astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin landed unharmed on the Kazakh steppe after their rocket bound for the station failed two minutes after liftoff.
