Nasa's Chris Cassidy and Russians Pavel Vinogradov and Alexander Misurkin landed safely on Wednesday near Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan, where they had launched off for their mission on March 29.

The Soyuz capsule touched down suspended below a large red and white-striped parachute.

The three men then emerged from the capsule with the help of the recovery teams.

The men were carried to reclining chairs that assisted them to readjust to the earth's gravity.

The Soyuz is the only means for international astronauts to reach the orbiting laboratory since the decommissioning of the US shuttle fleet in 2011.
