FE Kornienko prepares for Soyuz Undocking
ISS024-E-015185 (23 Sept. 2010) --- Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko, Expedition 24 flight engineer, makes final preparations for his departure in the Soyuz TMA-18 docked to the Poisk Mini-Research Module 2 (MRM2) of the International Space Station. The Soyuz undocked at 10:02 p.m. (EDT) on Sept. 24, 2010, carrying Kornienko, Russian cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov and NASA astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson (both out of frame). Originally scheduled for Sept. 23, the Soyuz undocked a day later due to a Poisk-side hatch sensor problem, which prevented hooks on the Poisk side of the docking interface from opening.
