Expedition 35 Commander Chris Hadfield of the Canadian Space Agency, Soyuz Commander Roman Romanenko of the Russian Fedearl Space Agency and NASA Flight Engineer Tom Marshburn were greeted in a traditional ceremony at the airport in Karaganda, Kazakhstan, on May 14, hours after landing in their Soyuz TMA-07M spacecraft in Kazakhstan near the town of Dzhezkazgan. After the ceremony, the crew split up, with Romanenko returning to his training base in Star City, Russia, while Hadfield and Marshburn boarded a NASA plane in Karaganda to return to the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston. The trio completed 146 days in space and 144 days aboard the International Space Station following a launch in late December.
