The Soyuz TMA-16 spacecraft with US astronaut Jeff Williams and Russian cosmonaut Maxim Surayev undocked from the International Space Station (ISS) on Thursday and is heading home. The two astronauts are returning home after spending 169 days on the ISS. The spacecraft is expected to land at the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The other members of the Expedition 22, Oleg Kotov, Timothy Creamer and Soiti Noguchi, will stay on the ISS until Easter, April 4th, when the Soyuz TMA-18 spacecraft is scheduled to dock with the station.
