After five months aboard the International Space Station (ISS), Canadian Space Agency (CSA) Astronaut Chris Hadfield and his Expedition 34/35 crewmates Tom Marshburn (U.S.A.) and Roman Romanenko (Russia) made a successful undocking from the ISS and a triumphant return to Earth in their Soyuz TMA-07M spacecraft.

Landing in Kazakhstan at 10:31 pm EDT, Hadfield would emerge from the Soyuz in good health, helped by the local ground crew.

Hadfield became the first Canadian Commander of the ISS during Expedition 35, performed over 130 science experiments, and was at the center of an impressive social media campaign that captured the attention and support of people from around the world.
