Anousheh Ansari, spaceflight participant, who spent 11 days in space and 9 days on the ISS under a commercial agreement with the Russian Federal Space Agency, is surrounded by Russian and American search and recovery teams on the steppe of central Kazakhstan on Sept. 29, 2006. This came a short while after the landing in the Soyuz TMA-8 spacecraft following undocking earlier in the day from the International Space Station. Out of the frame are cosmonaut Pavel V. Vinogradov, Expedition 13 commander, and astronaut Jeffrey N. Williams, who shared 183 days in space.
