As sad as I am to see the end of @Astro_Soichi‘s wonderful orbital photography, welcome home to the crew of ISS Expedition 23! (Presented for your approval, a terrific photo by Bill Ingalls.)
The Soyuz TMA-17 spacecraft is seen as it lands with Expedition 23 Commander Oleg Kotov and Flight Engineers T.J. Creamer and Soichi Noguchi near the town of Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan on Wednesday, June 2, 2010. NASA Astronaut Creamer, Russian Cosmonaut Kotov and Japanese Astronaut Noguchi are returning from six months onboard the International Space Station where they served as members of the Expedition 22 and 23 crews.
