A Soyuz spacecraft carrying a three-man taxi crew undocked from the International Space Station Saturday afternoon, landing in Kazakhstan several hours later. The Soyuz TM-34 spacecraft undocked from ISS at 3:44 pm EST (2044 GMT), with Russian cosmonauts Sergei Zaletin and Yuri Lonchakov and Belgian astronaut Frank De Winne aboard.

No problems were reported with the landing even though took place in the pre-dawn hours, a departure from the normal daytime landings. The undocking clears the way for the launch early Monday of the space shuttle Endeavour on mission STS-113.
