A Soyuz spacecraft with the 13th crew of the International Space Station and the first female space tourist landed safely in Kazakhstan early Friday.
"The astronauts are in a good shape," the agency's official Website said.
The Soyuz capsule landed at 05:14 a.m. Moscow time (01:14 a.m. GMT) in the designated area in the Central Asian country, an official at mission control outside Moscow said.
The spacecraft brought back to Earth the first female space tourist, Anousheh Ansari, 40, an Iranian-born American businesswoman, who paid $20 million for about eight days in space.
Russian cosmonaut Pavel Vinogradov and U.S. astronaut Jeffrey Williams also returned after completing a six-month mission.
Russia's Mikhail Tyurin and U.S. astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria have become the new "hosts" at the ISS after docking their Soyuz TMA-9 September 20.
