With Soyuz MS-05 commander Sergey Ryazanskiy at the controls in the charred descent module's center seat  flanked on the left by NASA flight engineer Randy Bresnik and on the right by Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli  the spacecraft landing near the town of Dzezkazgan at 3:37 a.m. EST (GMT-5; 2:37 p.m. local time).
Russian recovery crews had the descent module in sight well before touchdown and quickly reached the spacecraft to help  Ryazanskiy  and  his  crewmates out of the cramped capsule as they began re-adjusting to the unfamiliar tug of gravity.
 Ryazanskiy 's total time in space now spans 306 days over two flights. Bresnik's total  including an earlier shuttle flight  stands at 150 days while Nespoli's mark is now 313 days over three space flights.
During their time aloft  the crew welcomed four cargo ships and one Soyuz.  Ryazanskiy  participated in a seven-hour 34-minute spacewalk while Bresnik participated in three U.S. EVAs totaling 20 hours and 10 minutes.
