Global Space Station team of three land securely in Kazakhstan following six months on a mission. 

An International Space Station group including an American, a Briton and a Russian landed securely in the sun-soaked steppes of Kazakhstan on Saturday. 

The Soyuz TMA-19M container conveying NASA's Tim Kopra, Tim Peake of the European Space Agency and the Russian office Roscosmos' Yuri Malenchenko touched down as booked at 3:15 p.m. nearby time around 145 kilometers southeast of Zhezkazgan. 

All drop moves were performed with no hitches and the group reported feeling fine as their boat slid off the circle and made a beeline for Earth. 

Bolster group helped the trio escape the case, scorched by a searing plunge through the climate, and put them in leaning back seats for a snappy registration. 

"I'm going to miss the perspective certainly," Mr. Peake said in the wake of landing. He is the main Briton to visit the International Space Station. 

Squinting at the sun, Mr. Peake said he felt "elated," including that "the scents of Earth are just so solid." 

"I'd love some cool rain at this moment!" he said with a grin as he sat in searing warmth in his massive spacesuit. 

The trio burned through 186 days in space subsequent to their dispatch in December 2015. They have directed several tests in science, biotechnology, physical science and Earth science.
