Russian Soyuz Spacecraft Undocks from ISS


15.03.2011

The advanced Soyuz TMA-M spacecraft with a crew of three undocked from the International Space Station in automated mode on Wednesday, Russia's Mission Control said, RIA Novosti reports.

The landing of the capsule carrying Russian cosmonauts Alexander Kaleri and Oleg Skripochka, and U.S. astronaut Scott Kelly is expected later on Wednesday at a designated area in Kazakhstan.

Kaleri, Skripochka and Kelly spent almost five months in orbit. They carried out several spacewalks and conducted over 40 scientific experiments.

The remaining Expedition 27 crew on board the space station comprises Russian cosmonaut Dmitry Kondratyev, European Space Agency astronaut Paolo Nespoli and NASA astronaut Catherine Coleman.

Russia's Soyuz TMA-21 will most likely bring Russian cosmonauts Alexander Samokutyayev and Andrei Borisenko, as well NASA astronaut Ronald Garan, to the ISS in early April.
