A new video of the recent landing of a Russian Soyuz spacecraft shows the touchdown on the Central Asian steppes of Kazakhstan from a rare ground-based view of the space capsule's jarring touchdown.

A camera mounted on a Russian Search and Recovery all-terrain vehicle captured a unique video perspective of the Soyuz TMA-17 spacecraft carrying the International Space Station's Expedition 23 crew on June 2. The capsule touched down with the help of parachutes and thrusters east of the town Dzezhgazkan on the steppes of Kazakhstan.
