The space capsule, carrying actor Yulia Peresild, director Klim Shipenko and cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy landed in Kazakhstan.
A Soyuz space capsule carrying a cosmonaut and two Russian filmmakers has landed after a three and a half hour trip from the International Space Station.
The capsule, descending under a red and white striped parachute after entering Earth’s atmosphere, landed upright in the steppes of Kazakhstan on schedule at 04:35 GMT on Sunday with Oleg Novitskiy, Yulia Peresild and Klim Shipenko on board.
Actress Peresild and film director Shipenko rocketed to the space station on October 5 for a 12-day stint to film segments of a movie titled Challenge, in which a surgeon played by Peresild rushes to the space station to save a crew member who needs an urgent operation in orbit.
