Russian cosmonauts Fyodor N. Yurchikhin, commander of ISS Expedition 15, and Oleg V. Kotov, ISS flight engineer, along with Malaysian spaceflight participant Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, were inside their Soyuz spacecraft when the computer incorrectly calculated their descent path, bringing them into the Earth’s atmosphere at a more steep, and dangerous, descent than normal.
Other than several minutes of uncertainty during the descent, the space travelers were uninjured when they landed at 6:36 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, Florida time. Russian search and rescue teams quickly found them near Arkalyk, Kazakhstan, about 210 miles (340 kilometers) west of their intended landing site.
The other member of the Expedition 15 crew, U.S. astronaut and ISS flight engineer Clayton Anderson, will return to Earth with the STS-120/Discovery crew after their mission to the space station, now scheduled for liftoff on October 23, 2007.
