Akhir 11, 1432, March 16, 2011, SPA -- NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and two Russian cosmonauts have landed safely in the snowy expanses of central Kazakhstan after a five-month stint on the International Space Station. The Soyuz descent module carrying Kelly and flight engineers Alexander Kaleri and Oleg Skripochka landed on schedule at 13:53 p.m. local time (0753 GMT) Wednesday some 30 miles (50 kilometers) from the northern Kazakh city of Arkalyk. The Soyuz crew departing the space station left behind Russian cosmonaut Dmitry Kondratyev, Italy's Paolo Nespoli and NASA astronaut Catherine Coleman, who are due to return to earth in about three months, according to a report of the Associated Press.
