[b]Soyuz TMA-21 undocks from the space station[/b] After 162 days attached to the International Space Station, the Soyuz TMA-21 spacecraft is flying free again and beginning its journey back to Earth. The spacecraft undocked from the station's Russian Poisk module at 7:38 p.m. CDT on Thursday (Sept. 15) as the vehicles flew about 245 miles over northern China. Soyuz TMA-21 — with its crew Alexander Samokutyaev, Ron Garan and Andrey Borisenko — will make two more revolutions around the Earth before performing a deorbit burn at 10:05 p.m., setting up an 11 p.m. (10 a.m. Friday local time) landing in Kazakhstan.
