NASA has posted a photo of Expedition 40 Commander Steve Swanson just moments after he, alongside other Flight Engineers Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev, who are part of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos), landed their Soyuz TMA-12M capsule yesterday. The crew landed in a rural area near the small town of Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan on Thursday.

The crew had spent more than five months on the International Space Station. There they served as members of two expeditions, 39 and 40.
