its integrity before

45
00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:52,640

59
00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:32,640
with this crew so again this video taken

60
00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:34,080

the crew loaded on board their soyuz

63
00:02:42,309 --> 00:02:40,080
craft and

64
00:02:46,390 --> 00:02:42,319
the hatch was closed between the

65

a number of hours

67
00:02:58,790 --> 00:02:57,200
to ensure the integrity of the soyuz

68
00:03:01,750 --> 00:02:58,800
craft before departing from the

69
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:01,760
international space station

70
00:03:05,589 --> 00:03:03,760
also having said farewell to the three

71
00:03:08,309 --> 00:03:05,599
remaining onboard who would become the

00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:12,959
departure of this soyuz craft

75
00:03:19,110 --> 00:03:15,920
crew on board prepared and undocked on

76
00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:19,120

that undocking occurring after the hooks

79
00:03:27,190 --> 00:03:24,560
holding the soyuz craft in place are

80
00:03:29,030 --> 00:03:27,200
retracted the springs on the docking

81
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:29,040
mechanism pushing away

82
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:31,200
the craft

83
00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:32,720
uh departing from the international

84
00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:34,400
space station at a very slow rate at

85
00:03:37,589 --> 00:03:36,480
first uh only one tenth of a meter per

86
00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:37,599
second

87
00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:39,840
once it gets a little bit further away

88
00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:42,480
it executes a series of separation burns

89
00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:45,040
uh departing the orbiting laboratory and

90
00:03:48,390 --> 00:03:47,040
setting it up for eventual deorbit and

91
00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:48,400
landing

92
00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:53,920
where the soyuz also launches from

93
00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:56,640
you can see here images of the craft as

94
00:04:00,789 --> 00:03:59,040
it was under its final parachute descent

95
00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:00,799
having already gone through spacecraft

96
00:04:07,509 --> 00:04:04,799
separation and deorbit burn

97
00:04:11,270 --> 00:04:07,519
the craft touched down successfully

98
00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:11,280
last night at 9 58 pm central time the

99
00:04:17,670 --> 00:04:13,920
touchdown coming just after sunrise in

100
00:04:22,870 --> 00:04:20,469
once down all three crew members were

101
00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:22,880
removed from the craft by the soyuz

102
00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:25,600
landing recovery teams manning multiple

103
00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:29,040
helicopters and all-terrain vehicles to

104
00:04:34,870 --> 00:04:32,560
get the crew out and accommodate them

108
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:40,560
up for the astronauts right outside of

109
00:04:44,629 --> 00:04:42,960
the craft as they wait to get everybody

110
00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:44,639
out

111
00:04:51,110 --> 00:04:48,800
astronauts will sit here for a few

112
00:04:53,830 --> 00:04:51,120
minutes and then be moved over to

113
00:04:55,749 --> 00:04:53,840
the medical tent for a quick initial

114
00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:55,759
medical screening before being loaded

115
00:04:59,990 --> 00:04:58,160
into helicopters to fly

116
00:05:01,029 --> 00:05:00,000
back to the caragana airport where they

117
00:05:03,430 --> 00:05:01,039
then

00:05:19,990 --> 00:05:17,919
johnson space center home of the nasa

125
00:05:21,670 --> 00:05:20,000
astronaut corps

126
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:21,680
so again that successful landing

127
00:05:26,550 --> 00:05:24,400
happening yesterday evening at 9 58 pm

128
00:05:28,150 --> 00:05:26,560
central time bringing these three crew

129
00:05:32,790 --> 00:05:28,160
members back down to earth after

130
00:05:36,270 --> 00:05:35,110
the three crew members

131
00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:36,280
completing

132
00:05:41,350 --> 00:05:39,120
2656 orbits of the earth traveling over

133
00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:41,360
70 million miles during their time on

134
00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:44,240
board the station accomplishing a vast

135
00:05:48,790 --> 00:05:46,160
array of science experiments while on

136
00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:48,800
board all three also conducting numerous

137
00:05:52,150 --> 00:05:50,000
spacewalks

138
00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:52,160
but again they departed and landed

139
00:05:56,629 --> 00:05:53,759
successfully yesterday and with their

140
00:05:57,670 --> 00:05:56,639
departure expedition 37 has formally

141
00:05:59,749 --> 00:05:57,680
begun

142
00:06:01,510 --> 00:05:59,759
today is the first full day of that and

143
00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:01,520
the crew on board is enjoying an

144
00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:03,840
off-duty day as they were up fairly late

00:06:08,230 --> 00:06:06,000
last night supporting the landing from

146
00:06:09,590 --> 00:06:08,240
the international space station so they

147
00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:09,600
won't be

148
00:06:12,309 --> 00:06:11,360

before

150
00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:14,319
starting the full contingent of science

151
00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:15,680
and repair work on board the
