Undocking: scheduled 05:51 GMT / 06:51 BST

Module Separation and Entry Interface: scheduled 08:49 GMT / 09:49 BST

Parachute deployment approx. 09:00 GMT / 10:00 BST

Landing 09:15 GMT / 10:15 BST

Post Landing:

A nominal landing is usually quite accurate, so recovery teams in helicopters will follow the capsule through its descent and be on site very quickly.  The crew are helped out of the capsule by the recovery teams. Even if they are feeling fine, it is tradition and an honour that they are helped and carried out of the capsule to waiting seats.

The crew will have initial medical checks and will talk to their family on a telephone. Television pictures of this will be broadcast but there will be no interviews with the crew.
