Soyuz TMA-5

[1] TMA 5 ISS 10 Crew patches were designed by Seán O'Mara for USSR Airspace.

During preflight testing, an explosive bolt was accidentally activated on the Soyuz TMA-5 spacecraft.

The docking maneuver had to be done manually, as the approach by the automatic system was too fast.

The undocking was done manually as well, as a cautionary measure to save power on a faulty battery.

After 193 days in the station the Expedition 10 crew returned to a soft landing in Kazakhstan together with Italian Roberto Vittori who had flown up with the Expedition 11 crew on Soyuz TMA-6.
