  I've only seen notes of the time of undocking, as opposed to their location over the planet when that occurs.

• The issue of it being too warm is down to a faulty sensor which is showing the wrong temp - thus controlling the climate in the Soyuz. "It's not getting any cooler".

• they gonna sweat pretty badly during re-entry if they can't lower the SA temperature .... does the suits it-selves have temperature control?
