A Russian space capsule landed about 420km off course in Kazakhstan on Saturday but the three-member crew was safe, an official at the mission control centre said.
”The capsule landed with an overshoot. Such things happen,” said mission control spokesperson Valery Lyndin. It landed about 20 minutes past its scheduled time.
He said the crew had begun leaving the capsule, which carried South Korea’s first female astronaut Yi So-yeon, United States commander Peggy Whitson and Russian flight engineer Yuri Malenchenko. — Reuters
