00:00
All of the rendezvous maneuvers and thruster firings from the Soyuz were executed in flawless
00:07
fashion and the Soyuz approached the neighborhood of the International Space Station about three
00:12
hours after launch.
00:13
In this view of the Soyuz from external cameras on the International Space Station, it was
00:19
a totally automated approach.
00:21
All of the Soyuz systems operated in excellent shape and the final phase of the rendezvous
00:27
following a fly around of the Soyuz was conducted with no issues whatsoever.
00:32
The final approach command was given and the Soyuz slowly but surely closed the gap between
00:38
itself and the station, finally docking to the Rassvet module at a speed of about one-tenth
00:45
of a meter per second, with the docking occurring over Ukraine, south of Kiev at 1:53 p.m. Central
00:53
Time, 2:53 p.m. Eastern Time.
00:58
This replay shows the final approach and the final few feet before docking with contact
01:06
and capture occurring as planned.
01:09
That was followed by the docking probe being retracted to pull the two docking surfaces
01:14
flush against one another, allowing hooks to close on both sides of the docking interface
01:19
to form a hard mate.
01:41
So again, the launch and docking went as smooth as can be expected, no issues whatsoever.
01:48
One of the smoothest crew launches for a Soyuz vehicle in recent memory, with no technical
01:55
issues having had to be worked by the Soyuz crew and no issues on final approach and docking
02:02
that culminated a three-hour, nine-minute trip for Kononenko, Chub and Laurel O'Hara.
02:11
The leak checks are continuing, the pressure checks at the docking interface as the crews
02:17
on both sides of the docking interface, Dmitry Patelin on the Rassvet side, the station side
02:23
of the docking interface, and Kononenko and Chub on the Soyuz side are in the process
02:29
of checking out their vehicle systems, making sure that we have the correct pressure equalization
02:36
to enable the hatch to open and allow the three new arrivals to board the International
02:42
Space Station.
02:43
There is a view of the newly arrived Soyuz vehicle docked to the Rassvet module with
02:49
the Northrop Grumman Cygnus spacecraft on the right of your screen and on the left of
02:56
your screen is the NIOCA multipurpose laboratory module and just out of the field of view atop
03:03
the Prashal module, the node module docking port, is the Soyuz MS-23 vehicle that will
03:09
be the ride home in 12 days on September 27 for the station commander, Sergei Prokopyev,
03:17
Dmitry Patelin and NASA's Frank Rubio, who are wrapping up a 371-day mission aboard the
03:24
International Space Station, which for Rubio sets a record for the longest single space
03:30
flight by an American astronaut in history.
