Soyuz brought three astronauts including Joe Acaba and Mark Vande Hei of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) and Alexander Misurkin of the Russian Space Agency Roscosmos, safely back to Earth.

All three ended their working trip lasting more than 160 days on ISS.

Other three astronauts include Andrew Feustel and Richard Arnold from NASA and Oleg Artemyev of Roscosmos to take over the work of this group.

Expected, three new astronauts will depart on March 21 also from Kazakhstan.

ISS has a maximum living space of 6 people. Moving in orbit 400 km from the Earth at a speed of about 28,000 km / h, ISS takes 90 minutes to complete a cycle around the Earth.

Although it was launched into orbit in 1998, it was not until November 2, 2000 that ISS welcomed the first three astronauts, including Bill Shepard of NASA, Russian astronaut Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev on their trip the extension of 136 days.
