Immediately after we got our first look at the Soyuz descending under parachute, Navias (NASA TV commentator) said something like "and there you just saw the heat shield separating." Did anyone catch that?

Touchdown confirmed. Soyuz MS-01 back on Earth.

What a soft landing that was... PSYCHE! The crew obviously felt a jolt that made it feel like a hard landing!

"They've Landed!" in Russian on the front screen.

Standing by for recovery forces to begin crew extraction.

Ivanishin will get out first followed by Rubins. Onishi will be the last one to exit the capsule.
