Capsule With U.S.-Russian Crew From Space Station Lands in Kazakhstan

Posted on: Wednesday, 27 October 2004, 12:00 CDT

ARKALYK, Kazakhstan (AP)-- A Soyuz capsule carrying a U.S.- Russian crew back to Earth following six months at the international space station hurtled through the Earth's atmosphere and landed safely and on target in Kazakhstan early Sunday.

The bell-shaped Soyuz TMA-4, carrying Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka and American partner Mike Fincke, touched down beneath a parachute at the targeted landing site, some 55 miles north of the town of Arkalyk, in pre-dawn darkness.

The Russian Soyuz had undocked from the space station some three hours earlier and made two orbits around Earth. At Mission Control outside Moscow, where Russian and American space officials gathered, applause broke out at news of the landing.
