ZHEZKAZGAN, Kazakhstan—An American, a Russian and the first person from the United Arab Emirates to fly into space landed safely on Oct. 3 after a six-hour flight from the International Space Station.

The capsule carrying Nick Hague, Alexey Ovchinin and Hazzaa Al-Mansoori touched down on the steppe in Kazakhstan in Central Asia, the impact sending a cloud of dust into the sky.
