Soyuz with crew of three lands in Kazakhstan Nov 19th 2012, 02:39 ALMATY | Sun Nov 18, 2012 9:39pm EST ALMATY (Reuters) - A Russian Soyuz capsule landed on the Kazakh steppe on Monday, delivering a trio of astronauts from a four-month stint on the International Space Station. The Soyuz TMA-05M capsule, carrying Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and U.S. astronaut Sunita Williams, parachuted through dark, cloudy skies and touched down at 7:56 a.m. local time (0156 GMT). "We have landing!" footage from Russian Mission Control, broadcast by NASA TV and Russian state television, showed. Search-and-recovery helicopters were on their way to the landing site, near the northern Kazakh town of Arkalyk. The crew returned after spending 125 days aboard the International Space Station, a $100 billion research complex involving 15 countries and orbiting 240 miles above Earth.
