Three astronauts landed in Kazakhstan early
Tuesday, hours after after five months in orbit aboard the
International Space Station (ISS).
The Soyuz capsule landed safely on schedule at 0231 GMT, carrying
Canadian commander Chris Hadfield, US flight engineer Tom Marshburn
and Roman Romanenko of Russia.
Pavel Vinogradov of the Russian Federal Space Agency will take
over as the new ISS commander.
Hadfield marked the last of his 146 days in space by posting
online a rendition of David Bowie's Space Oddity.
The video of Hadfield hovering in the space station with an
acoustic guitar gathered more than 1 million hits on YouTube by
Monday evening.
Hadfield, 53, has posted regular updates and photos on his Twitter
feed since his mission began in December, drawing 822,000 followers.
Two astronauts embarked on an unscheduled spacewalk at the weekend
to fix an ammonia coolant leak.
