A Soyuz capsule carrying two Russians and one American from the International Space Station (ISS) has landed in Kazakhstan – ending a record-breaking stay for the Russian pair.

The capsule landed on the Kazakh steppe about three-and-a-half hours after undocking from the ISS in an apparently trouble-free descent.
