    The document outlines the key steps in the Soyuz xS descent process from undocking from the International Space Station to landing. It begins with undocking and separation from the station, followed by a separation burn and deorbit burn using the Soyuz main engine to place the spacecraft on a reentry trajectory. During atmospheric entry, guidance begins and maximum G-loads are experienced before parachute deployment and a soft landing. The timeline shows the predicted GMT, CDT, and LMT for each major stage of the descent process.
