The Soyuz MS-28 capsule touched down safely by parachute in the steppes southeast of Dzhezkazgan. NASA astronaut Chris Williams and Russian cosmonauts Sergei Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev made up the returning crew.

Its parachute opened as planned, and the crew landed gently in the designated recovery zone. This touchdown ended a <em>241-day mission<\/em> for the three spacefarers.
