RELEASE: 12-140
SPACE STATION TRIO LANDS SAFELY IN KAZAKHSTAN
HOUSTON -- Three members of the Expedition 30 crew undocked from the
International Space Station and safely returned to Earth on Friday,
wrapping up a five-and-a-half-month mission in space.
Commander Dan Burbank of NASA and Russian Flight Engineers Anatoly
Ivanishin and Anton Shkaplerov landed their Soyuz TMA-22 spacecraft
in Kazakhstan at 6:45 a.m. CDT after undocking from the space
station's Poisk module at 3:18 a.m. The trio, which arrived at the
station on Nov. 16, 2011, spent a total of 165 days in space, 163 of
them conducting research on the station.
Before leaving the station, Burbank handed over command of Expedition
31 to the Russian Federal Space Agency's Oleg Kononenko, who remains
aboard the station with NASA astronaut Don Pettit and European Space
Agency astronaut Andre Kuipers. They will be joined by NASA astronaut
Joseph Acaba and Russian cosmonauts Gennady Padalka and Sergei Revin.
Acaba, Padalka and Revin are scheduled to launch May 14 from the
Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and dock with the station on May
16.

http://www.space-multimedia.nl.eu.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7521
Love this chatter (translating from Russian):
@4:00:
- "So, next stop is Planet Earth"
- "I want to hope so"
- "We will be watching you, worrying about you"
- "Please don't feel lonely"
@5:45
- "So, are we going to wave them with the wings?"
- "We've gotta be careful not to tear them off" ;D
...And so forth - too bad NTV does not translate all of that ;D

ASTRONAUT DAN BURBANK RETURNS TO EARTH, AVAILABLE FOR INTERVIEWS
HOUSTON -- Just back from his command of the International Space
Station, NASA astronaut Dan Burbank will be available for live
satellite interviews from 6-7 a.m. CDT on Thursday, May 10.
During his third space flight, Burbank completed 165 days in space as
a member of the Expedition 29 and 30 crews. He has performed one
spacewalk and spent 189 days in space.
Burbank and his crewmates, Expedition 30 Flight Engineers Anton
Shkaplerov and Anatoly Ivanishin of the Russian Federal Space Agency,
returned to Earth in their Soyuz TMA-22 spacecraft at 6:45 a.m. on
April 27. The crew members spent the majority of their time aboard
the complex performing science experiments and routine maintenance.
Burbank is a native of Yarmouthport, Mass., and a 1985 graduate of the
United States Coast Guard Academy. After earning his commission,
Burbank served in various roles as a Coast Guard officer before NASA
selected him as an astronaut in 1996. He received a master of science
degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in 1990.
To arrange an interview, news media representatives must contact Karen
Svetaka at 281-483-8684 or [email protected] by 1 p.m. on
Wednesday, May. 9.
The interviews will be preceded by a feed of video b-roll material of
Burbank and his mission at 5:30 a.m. The NASA Live Interview Media
Service (LIMS) satellite will be used for the interviews. LIMS
satellite parameters will be provided by NASA to confirmed clients.
