Soyuz TMA-1 (Too Much Accelleration) Spaceflight Now has a pretty decent article about the "off-nominal" Soyuz landing Saturday night, though it still comes down to--they don't know what happened. Certainly one unusual factor in the flight was the new TMA spacecraft, which had never even been tested before (possibly a first for the Russian space program, though I'm not sure). If it turns out that there is a flaw in the TMA capsule, it could complicate matters for the Expedition 7 crew, now on ISS with the TMA-2 capsule as their only ride home, and no firm information as to whether it will be possible to have Shuttles flying again before they have to return to Earth.
