"And the search and recovery forces now report the Soyuz TMA-18 has landed," said Rob Navias, mission control commentator at the Johnson Space Center in Houston."The soft landing engines reported to have worked perfectly. Alexander Skvortsov, Tracy Caldwell Dyson and Mikhail Kornienko, back on Earth after 176 days in space."

Russian recovery forces, including NASA flight surgeons and support personnel, rushed to the landing site from nearby staging areas to assist Skvortsov, Kornienko and Caldwell Dyson as they began the process of re-adapting to Earth's gravity after 176 days in space.

But all three appeared relaxed and in good spirits after they were assisted from the spacecraft, enjoying fresh fruit and chatting with recovery personnel.

Skvortsov and Kornienko then planned to head for Star City near Moscow while Caldwell Dyson was scheduled to fly back to the Johnson Space Center in Houston aboard a NASA jet.
