Pictorial Interlude – Soyuz Module Landing

A nice set of photos here of a returning Soyuz descent module landing in Kazakhstan – I have picked a few choice ones below.

The landing looks a bit harsh – the source site states that “the dust below is from retro rockets fired just before landing to soften impact, and not from the impact itself.” but judging from the mess it makes of the field in the final photo I don’t think it would be too comfortable being on the inside when it hits.
