The mission—Soyuz TMA-10—used a Soyuz-TMA spacecraft to transport personnel and materials back and forth from the International Space Station (ISS). The mission began on April 7, 2007, when it was launched by a Soyuz FG launch vehicle. It carried Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Fyodor Yurchikhin.
TMA-10 undocked from the ISS at 7:14 UTC (Universal Time Corrected) on October 21, 2007, after about six months in space. It carried Kotov and Yurchikhin, along with Malaysian spaceflight participant Shukor.
The capsule de-orbited from its orbit at 9:47 UTC. Then, at 10:16:07 UTC, the automated control descent mode (ASU, in Russian) was activated to bring the spacecraft down under nominal conditions.
However, the capsule’s computer switched to ballistic mode shortly before the vehicle entered entry interface (EI), when communications between Russian ground controllers and the spacecraft are temporarily loss due to plasma surrounding the capsule while in the upper atmosphere.
Landing motors activated just before landing to allow the vehicle to make a soft-landing on Earth. The craft landed west of Arkalyk (a city in Kostanay Province in central Kazakhstan) at about 10:36 UTC (or 13:36 Moscow time, or 5:36 a.m. Houston, Texas time), which was about 211 miles (340 kilometers) northwest of its scheduled landing site.
Helicopters were in the area within seven minutes after touchdown.
