Sept. 23 (UPI) -- The Russian Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft safely landed in Kazakstan on Monday, some three hours after undocking from the International Space Station, returning two cosmonauts and one NASA astronaut to Earth.

The spacecraft made a parachute landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan, near Dzhezkazgan at 7:29 a.m. EDT. The Soyuz, which left the ISS's Prichal module at about 4:36 a.m., EDT, carried NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson and cosmonauts Nikolai Chub and Oleg Kononenko.
