The Soyuz spacecraft landed in Kazakhstan late Monday night, about 3½ hours after departing from the ISS.

In the image above, a Russian MI-8 helicopter is seen through the window of another helicopter at the Karaganda Airport shortly after poor weather forced the fleet of 12 helicopters to turn around from their flight to Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan where they were to have pre-staged for the landing of the Soyuz TMA-10M spacecraft on Monday. Russian space officials and members of the search and recovery forces met to discuss the current weather.
