Expedition 28 Soyuz Commander Andrey Borisenko, NASA Flight Engineer Ron Garan and Russian Flight Engineer Alexander Samokutyaev were greeted in a traditional ceremony at the airport in Karaganda, Kazakhstan, on Sept. 16, 2011, hours after landing in their Soyuz TMA-21 spacecraft on the steppe of Kazakhstan. After the ceremony, the crew split up, with Borisenko and Samokutyaev returning to their training base in Star City, Russia, while Garan boarded a NASA plane in Karaganda to return to the Johnson Space Center in Houston. The trio completed almost six months aboard the International Space Station following launch in December. The footage includes an interview conducted with Garan in Karaganda before beginning the trip home to Houston.
