U.S. astronaut Anne McClain has completed her maiden flight, landing this morning along with her fellow crew mates in Kazakhstan after 204 days in space.
Three astronauts safely returned to Earth on Tuesday after spending more than six months aboard the International Space Station.
Two of the astronauts had completed their maiden flights: Anne McClain of the United States and David Saint-Jacques of Canada. The expedition commander Oleg Kononenko of Russia has ended his fourth space mission. All three spent 204 days in space. The space veteran Kononenko who was the first one to have been extracted from the capsule looked visibly tired and pale. McClain and Saint-Jacques were more energetic and gave a thumbs-up to the recovery team who greeted the three with applause.
