The Soyuz TMA-06M spacecraft lies passively on its side March 16 after bringing
home Expedition 34 Commander Kevin Ford of NASA, Soyuz Commander Oleg Novitskiy
and Flight Engineer Evgeny Tarelkin to a landing northeast of Arkalyk,
Kazakhstan following a one-day delay due to inclement weather in the area. The
Soyuz initially landed upright before being tilted on its side for servicing
after touching down to wrap up 144 days in space and 142 days for Ford,
Novitskiy and Tarelkin at the International Space Station. The three crew
members were flown by helicopter to Kustanai, Kazakhstan en route to their homes
in Houston and Star City, Russia.
