NASA TV COVERAGE PLANNED FOR SPACE STATION SOYUZ LANDING

WASHINGTON -- NASA Television will provide live coverage March 13-15 
as three crew members aboard the International Space Station end 
almost five months at the orbiting laboratory.

Expedition 34 Commander Kevin Ford of NASA, Russian Soyuz Commander 
Oleg Novitskiy and Russian Flight Engineer Evgeny Tarelkin will 
undock their Soyuz spacecraft from the station at 8:30 p.m. EDT, 
March 14, heading for a landing in Kazakhstan northeast of the remote 
town of Arkalyk at 11:57 p.m. (10:57 a.m. Kazakh time March 15). They 
will have spent 143 days in space since launching from Kazakhstan 
Oct. 23.

When the Soyuz undocks, Expedition 35 will begin aboard the station 
under the command of Chris Hadfield of the Canadian Space Agency. 
Hadfield will be the first Canadian commander. He and his crewmates, 
NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn and Russian cosmonaut Roman Romanenko, 
will tend to the station for two weeks until the arrival of three new 
crew members: NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy and Russian cosmonauts 
Pavel Vinogradov and Alexander Misurkin.

NASA TV coverage will begin Wednesday, March 13, with a change of 
command ceremony in which Ford will hand station command to Hadfield. 
Coverage will continue March 14 and 15 with Expedition 34 landing and 
post-landing activities. The coverage includes:

Wednesday, March 13:
5:10 p.m. -- Expedition 34/35 change of command ceremony
