A Russian Soyuz space capsule carrying three astronauts from the International Space Station has landed in the steppes of Kazakhstan.
The capsule landed at 6:39 pm (local time) on Sunday without apparent problems, descending under a red-and-white parachute.
Aboard were Russian Anton Shkaplerov, American Scott Tingle and Japan's Norishige Kanai, ending a 168-day mission.
The orbiting laboratory now has a crew of three -- Americans Drew Feustel and Ricky Arnold and Russian Oleg Artemyev.
Another three astronauts are to be launched to the station on Wednesday.
