It was a warm summertime evening in the Kazakh steppe on Friday when a Soyuz Capsule carrying two ISS crew members from France and Russia parachuted to a safe landing one hour before sunset, closing out a half-year space mission that circled the Earth 3,136 times and covered 130 million Kilometers.
Two-time Soyuz Commander Oleg Novitskiy and ESA Astronaut Thomas Pesquet enjoyed a flawless homecoming aboard their Soyuz MS-03 spacecraft, culminating with the usual bumpy parachute-and-rocket-assisted landing at 14:10 UTC, 8:10 p.m. Kazakhstan time, just 60 minutes before sundown over the sparsely populated landing area 147 Kilometers from the remote town of Dzhezkazgan.
