Mission overview

This mission brought three crew members from ISS expeditions 25 and 26 to the International Space Station. The Soyuz spaceship replaced the Soyuz TMA-18 as an escape pod.

On March 16, 2011 at 4:27 UTC Soyuz TMA-01M undocked with Kaleri, Skripotschka and Kelly on board. This marked the start of Expedition 27 on the ISS with Dmitri Kondratjew as commander. The brake ignition was initiated at 7:03 UTC. After a normal descent, the crew capsule landed at 7:54 a.m. UTC in the Kazakh steppe 93 km north of Arkalyk . The weather at the landing site was very rough with strong winds and icy temperatures. "You might think that was a scene from the North Pole, " said NASA spokesman Rob Navias about the extreme climatic conditions.

After this flight, Kaleri had spent 769 days in space and was behind Sergei Krikalev in second place in the list of the longest total time in space .
