Three Astronauts landed safely in Kazakhstan on Tuesday after successfully completing their 166 days space mission at the International Space Station. The astronauts including two Russians and one American took Sochi Olympic Torch to the Space.

The safe landing of the astronauts was crucial as the weather conditions were not favorable in Kazakhstan.

"Safe arrival back on Earth. The crew is reported to be in good health," announced the NASA TV.

"There's a lot of snow on the ground and temperatures are hovering in the single-digits Fahrenheit," informed NASA Mission Commentator Dan Huot along with the visuals presenting recovery vehicles moving towards the Soyuz TMA-10M capsule on a snowy path.

Soon after the landing, the astronauts were made to seat on recliner chairs and were covered with blankets in order to save them from the strong winds and snow. The astronauts smiled and waved hands, while being checked up by the doctors. The crew was then flown in helicopters to a local town of Karaganda, where a ceremony will be organized to welcome the astronauts.

Sources had informed that agency was planning to defer the landing of Soyuz, due to extreme weather conditions; however, after assessing the weather forecasts it decided to go ahead.

The astronaut trio including Oleg Kotov, Michael Hopkins and Sergei Ryazansky had left for the International Space Station in September 2013.

The crew led by the most experience and Former ISS Commander Oleg Kotov worked on a total of 35 science experiments.

The new crew members will join the International Space Station by the end of this month, while a small crew led by newly appointed Japanese Commander Koichi Wakata is present at ISS.
