<p>The Soyuz capsule with astronauts from Canada, Russia and the United States landed in the steppes of Kazakhstan at 8.47am local time (1.47am BST) on Tuesday, less than a minute ahead of the scheduled time, after a three-and-a-half-hour flight from the orbiting lab.</p>
<p>Two of the astronauts had completed their maiden flights – Anne McClain of the United States and David Saint-Jacques of Canada.</p>

<p>The expedition commander Oleg Kononenko of Russia has ended his fourth space mission. All three spent 204 days in space.</p>
<p>Americans Nick Hague and Christina Koch and Russia’s Alexey Ovchinin remain aboard the space station.</p>
<p>Space veteran Mr Kononenko, who was the first one to be extracted from the capsule, looked visibly tired and pale.</p>
<p>The astronauts were put on camping chairs in the sun just by the capsule for some respite and initial medical checks.</p>
<p>When asked by a reporter on site if he liked the weather, Mr Kononenko said he was “happy to see any kind of weather” after spending over 200 days in space.</p>
<p>The crew is expected to be taken to a local airport before flying to their home bases.</p>
