The spacecraft is to bring back to Earth the Russian cosmonauts, Fyodor Yurchikhin and Oleg Kotov, after six months of their stay at the world’s sole orbiter as members of the ISS 15th expedition, along with Malaysian Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor who arrived at the station on Oct 12.

The crew is in good health and high spirits. “Now the most important thing is that they all go through the descent and landing,” Valery Lyndin, a spokesman for the Mission Control, said.
