Flight

Launch from Baikonur; landing 338 km west of the intended site in Kazakhstan due of a ballistic descent; ISS Expedition 15; docking to ISS; crew replaced expedition 14 crew.

The landing occured in an unexpected 'ballistic' descent to Earth (for the first time since Soyuz TMA-1. So the landing was one minute earlier than planned, harder (up to 9g, normal 4g) and about 300 kilometres short from the target landing point, but the crew was in good condition and safe.
