Soyuz returning to Earth

A Russian Soyuz spacecraft is due to return to Earth within hours after successfully undocking from the International Space Station (ISS).

The Expedition 16 crew includes South Korea's first astronaut, 29-year-old Yi So-yeon, who spent about 11 days at the station conducting scientific tests. Also on board are Yuri Malenchenko from Russia and Peggy Whitson from the US. The landing capsule of the Soyuz TMA-11 spacecraft is due to land in the Kazakh steppe at about 0830 GMT.

Yuri back in space! Well not the ...original Yuri but still a Yuri!!!
