Recovery is in contact with crew and they are in good condition.
The Russian Soyuz spacecraft made emergency landing in Kazakhstan after its rocket booster malfunctioned. Both crew members on board are alive and unharmed.
The spacecraft, carrying cosmonaut Alexey Ovchining and NASA’a Nick Hague, had successfully landed about 20-25 kilometers from Zhezkazgan, central Kazakhstan. Four helicopters were sent to pick up the crewmembers.
“The crew has landed. Everyone is alive,” Russian space chief Dmitry Rogozin wrote on Twitter.
NASA confirmed the space capsule’s successful landing and said that the crew are “in good condition and in contact.”
