  • Story Text: Three cosmonauts returned to Earth on Friday (November 4) after a space mission partly funded by the European Space Agency (ESA).

    The Soyuz TM-19 space capsule bumped gently down on to the Kazakhstan steppe.

    On board the capsule were Yuri Malenchenko of Russia, Taglat Musabayev of Kazakhstan and Ulf Merbold of Germany. The ESA had paid Russia 60 million United States dollars to include Merbold in the mission.

    Merbold had blasted off a month earlier with two others to pick up Musabayav and Malenchenko from the Mir orbiting space station, where they had spent 127 days.

    Among those greeting the returning cosmonauts was Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev.
