The bell-shaped Soyuz TMA-4, carrying Russian cosmonauts Gennady Padalka and Yuri Shargin and American astronaut Mike Fincke, parachuted down to the landing site, some 55 miles north of the Kazakh town of Arkalyk, at 4:36 a.m.

The Soyuz TMA-5 lifted off from the bleak steppes of Kazakhstan at 7:06 Moscow time and is due to dock with the station two days later.
That practice has been changed because several veteran cosmonauts have resigned in recent years and the space agency hasn't had enough seats on recent Soyuz missions to train their replacements, said Yuri Grigoryev, a spokesman for Russia's Cosmonaut Training Center.
