NASA astronaut Terry Virts, European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti and cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov landed in central Kazakhstan at 9:44 a.m. ET (7:44 p.m. local time) Thursday, after leaving the ISS about three hours earlier, as they flew above Mongolia. A Russian-made Soyuz space capsule brought them back to Earth from the space station.

Cristoforetti broke a record during her time in orbit. The 199-day mission (the crew was just a few hours shy of a full 200 days in space) makes her the world record holder for longest-duration single spaceflight by a woman.
