The three astronauts landed safely in the vast grasslands of northern Kazakhstan frozen in after six months on the orbiting International Space Station. De Winne waved his hand as he helped out of the TMA-15 capsule, charred and takes more than three hours to descend from the space station orbiting about 400 miles above Earth.
"Soyuz commander has just reported that the crews are in good condition," said an official at the Observer Mission in Korolyov, outside Moscow, Russia. The air filled with ice means support team have to travel overland and not by helicopter to remote areas where medical personnel checked that all three crew members.
The crew will be flying back to the Russian space training center in Star City, outside Moscow. They do training on how to handle the force of gravity after six months in the space station, NASA said. American astronaut Jeff Williams and Russian Maxim Suraev will remain at the space station until the arrival of three new crew, Russian, Oleg Kotov astronaut Timothy Creamer of the U.S. space agency (Nasa) and Soichi Noguchi of Japan. They are expected to leave the Earth with the spacecraft Soyuz TMA-17 on December 21.
