A space crew from the US and Russia landed safely in Kazakhstan after an 8-month mission. The crew spent 241 days on the International Space Station (ISS). American astronaut Chris Williams and Russian cosmonauts Sergei Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev completed their mission and landed with a parachute near the city of Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan.
After the landing, Williams will return to the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, while Kud-Sverchkov and Mikaev will fly to the training centers in Star City, outside Moscow. The US and Russia, which once competed against each other in the space race during the Cold War, are now cooperating on the ISS and other projects. The rotation of the ISS crew is seen as an important step for space research and exploration.
