Three crew members of the International Space Station (ISS) returned to Earth today after a 199-day mission that included several spacewalks, technology demonstrations, and hundreds of scientific experiments spanning multiple disciplines, including human and plant biology. The Soyuz TMA-15M spacecraft is seen in this image as it lands with Expedition 43 commander Terry Virts (Astro_Terry) of NASA, cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos), and Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti from European Space Agency (ESA) near the town of Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan.
