Eleventh Space Station Crew Back on Earth
Commander Sergei Krikalev and NASA Science Officer John Phillips, 11th crew of the space station, landed in the steppes of Kazakhstan in their Soyuz spacecraft at 9:09 p.m. EDT Monday after more than 179 days in space.
With them was Gregory Olsen, the American spaceflight participant who flew to the space station with the Expedition 12 crew and spent about eight days doing experiments.
The Soyuz TMA spacecraft undocked from the station at 5:49 p.m. EDT. Its re-entry was flawless. It brought the three men aboard to a landing about 53 miles northeast of Arkalyk after 179 days and 23 minutes in space for the E11 crew.
The recovery team reached the capsule in minutes.

Space Station Crew Change Going Well, Astronauts Say
Four astronauts working to swap control of the International Space Station (ISS) between their two crews said Thursday that the process is going smoothly as they hit the midpoint of their work together.
After nearly six months of spaceflight, Expedition 11 commander Sergei Krikalev and flight engineer John Phillips are now in their fourth day of handover operations with the station's new crew - Expedition 12 commander Bill McArthur and flight engineer Valery Tokarev.
Jet Lag Aside, U.S. Space Tourist Greg Olsen Feels Fine
Orbital jet lag aside, space seems to agree with U.S. space tourist Gregory Olsen, who ended his fourth day aboard the International Space Station (ISS) Thursday with a video broadcast to Earth.
Olsen spoke to listeners at his alma mater - Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey - from the space station's U.S.-built Destiny laboratory, though was unable to take questions from the ground as he'd originally hoped.
