JSC2003-E-31972 (5 May 2002) --- This wide shot reveals the post-landing scene of the Soyuz TM-33 spacecraft not far from the town of Arkalyk, Kazakhstan, soon after the Soyuz 4 ISS Taxi mission ended successfully there. The Soyuz is out of frame in this scene, which shows a rescue team member gathering the spacecraft's landing parachute and a MI-6 helicopter on the ground in the background. Landing occurred around 7:52 a.m. Moscow time. Onboard were Yuri Gidzenko, commander; Roberto Vittori, flight engineer; and space flight participant Mark Shuttleworth of South Africa. Gidzenko is with Rosaviakosmos and Vittori represents the European Space Agency (ESA). Photo Credit: NASA/Marty Linde
