The Russian Soyuz capsule carrying NASA's Mark Vande Hei and his cosmonaut peers Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov successfully undocked from the ISS and is set to make a parachute landing in central Kazakhstan at 1128 GMT, according to Russian space agency Roscosmos. The joint U.S.-Russian return flight from ISS is being closely watched for signs that escalating strife between Moscow and Washington over the Russian invasion of Ukraine have spilled over into longtime cooperation in space between the two former Cold War adversaries.
