Teen solves centuries-old math problem
ARKALYK, Kazakhstan, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- Commanders and flight engineers landed the Soyuz TMA-14 spacecraft on the steppes of Kazakhstan, concluding a six-month stay on the International Space Station.
Cmdr. Gennady Padalka and Flight Engineer Michael Barratt guided their Soyuz TMA-14 space vehicle to a parachute-assisted landing at a site northeast of the Kazakh town of Arkalyk during the weekend.
Both spacemen spent 199 days in space and 197 days on the International Space Station. They left Earth March 26.
They served as crew members on board the space station during the first arrival of the Japanese H-II transfer cargo vehicle.
Russian teams arrived on the Kazakh site shortly after the landing to extract the crew from the Soyuz and acclimate them to Earth's gravity.
They were returned to the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, outside of Moscow, NASA said.
