Only thing going on now is the Soyuz crew is setting up the equipment to get ready to deorbit.  Little over 2 hours until the burn.

Not sure where to post it, but here's a nice picture of the radiator damage, and the Soyuz TMA-14 spacecraft!

Talked about just found some "extra-bonus-container". ;) I think, it's traditional food-related gift from departing crew to the staying crew.

Wheels up on some of the recovery helicopters in Arkalyk, they're moving to a holding pattern to fly around the landing site.  6 minutes until the deorbit burn.

4 minutes from the burn, the Soyuz TMA-14 spacecraft is in the correct attitude for the burn.

Good deorbit burn.  Nominal, no trim.

20 minutes from the first major milestone, that'll be the separation of the 3 sections of the Soyuz.

Russian flight controllers are pressing Padalka for information, it sounds like he just wants to sit and enjoy the ride...

Thought that was interesting, especially the original translation ("your communication is critical" or something to that extent).

Soyuz spacecraft should now be entering the atmosphere.  22 minutes from touchdown.
