Soyuz TMA-12M returns space station trio and space whiskey to Earth [i]Two cosmonauts, an astronaut, and the makings for a stiff drink have landed safely back on Earth, returning from the International Space Station (ISS) to the steppe of Kazakhstan. The crew of Russia's Soyuz TMA-12M spacecraft, Steve Swanson of NASA and cosmonauts Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev of Roscosmos, wrapped up 169 days in space as their capsule reentered Earth's atmosphere on Wednesday (Sep. 10). Descending under a parachute and slowed by braking thrusters, the Soyuz touched down at 9:23 p.m. CDT (0223 GMT) to the southeast of the remote Kazakh town of Dzhezkazgan.[/i]
