17
00:00:42,229 --> 00:00:40,160
the russian federal space agency bounced

18
00:00:44,950 --> 00:00:42,239
back from an august failure of the third

19
00:00:47,110 --> 00:00:44,960
stage of a soyuz booster rocket that

20
00:00:49,910 --> 00:00:47,120
resulted in the loss of the previous

21
00:00:52,790 --> 00:00:49,920

00:01:10,789 --> 00:01:08,479
automated approach a computer-guided

30
00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:10,799
approach ever since its orbital

31
00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:13,040
insertion less than 10 minutes after its

32
00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:15,520
launch on sunday and now is approaching

33
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:17,280
the station not

34
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:20,400
more than 550 meters away about to begin

35
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:22,880
a fly around to precisely align its

36
00:01:27,190 --> 00:01:24,960
forward docking probe to the piers

37
00:01:29,190 --> 00:01:27,200
docking compartment for a period of a

38
00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:29,200
few minutes of station keeping before

39
00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:31,040
the commands are issued for the final

40
00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:34,960
approach and a docking two piers

officer here in mission control reports

44
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:43,439
that the progress is uh computers have

45
00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:46,240
initiated a final approach for docking

46
00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:48,640
on schedule

47
00:01:54,310 --> 00:01:51,360
range rate increasing i visually see a

48
00:01:56,069 --> 00:01:54,320
bridge occurring

49
00:01:58,550 --> 00:01:56,079
visually i

50
00:02:00,789 --> 00:01:58,560
assess everything is nominal the balcony

51
00:02:02,950 --> 00:02:00,799
target is

52
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:02,960
um out

53
00:02:08,869 --> 00:02:05,360
and to the left

54
00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:08,879
i have a

55
00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:10,959
uh square to the left

56
00:02:18,790 --> 00:02:16,640
of range right 0.5 meters per second

57
00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:18,800
progress now inside 100 meters to

58
00:02:28,790 --> 00:02:26,949
i clearly see the docking

59
00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:28,800
mission

60
00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:31,840
i the appears docking compartment

61
00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:33,360
became available

62
00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:35,440
with the undocking of the

63
00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:37,360
previous progress craft at the station

64
00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:39,440
the progress 42

65
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:42,239
that uh undocked back on saturday and

66
00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:45,040
was deorbited to a destructive re-entry

67
00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:50,470
the piers docking compartment is the

68
00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:53,599
module delivered in september 2001

69
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:55,440
that linked up automatically to the

70
00:02:59,350 --> 00:02:57,120
russian segment of the international

71
00:03:01,750 --> 00:02:59,360
space station

72
00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:01,760
and which for the past decade has served

73
00:03:07,030 --> 00:03:04,319
two purposes both as a docking port for

74
00:03:09,270 --> 00:03:07,040
arriving russian vehicles and as an

75
00:03:10,949 --> 00:03:09,280
airlock from which russian spacewalks

76
00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:10,959
have been staged

77
00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:15,040
i can see across hairs crosshairs

78
00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:16,640
match

79
00:03:23,910 --> 00:03:21,120
the and char it is uh to the left by one

80
00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:23,920
uh square of the vacau center and it's

81
00:03:27,990 --> 00:03:26,400
up above the iwakawa center

82
00:03:30,149 --> 00:03:28,000
copy

83
00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:30,159
uh sergey what do you think about the

84
00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:33,440
quality of the video 40 meters away from

85
00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:35,920
docking the progress is core's automated

86
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:38,159
rendezvous antenna has been retracted as

87
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:39,120
planned

88
00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:40,720
everything continuing to go very

89
00:03:44,830 --> 00:03:42,799
smoothly docking less than five minutes

90
00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:44,840
away range 36

91
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:47,040
meters okay

92
00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:49,280
go ahead and execute

93
00:03:56,949 --> 00:03:53,200
we have all three all four leds on

94
00:03:58,789 --> 00:03:56,959
okay then operation and then hdc mode on

95
00:04:01,190 --> 00:03:58,799
copy

96
00:04:03,589 --> 00:04:01,200
i can see the target clearly

97
00:04:07,509 --> 00:04:03,599
um the crosshairs are aligned

98
00:04:10,869 --> 00:04:07,519
i turn off uh operation command we see

99
00:04:18,069 --> 00:04:10,879
oh for reality is no longer eliminated

100
00:04:22,230 --> 00:04:20,069
range radius

101
00:04:23,550 --> 00:04:22,240
range is 30 meters

102
00:04:31,749 --> 00:04:23,560
range rate is

103
00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:33,830
the progress's docking mechanism has

104
00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:36,400
been powered up as planned range now

105
00:04:48,960 --> 00:05:09,430
target is in the center of a cow

106
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:28,070

107
00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:29,909
at the top of your screen is the piers

108
00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:32,400
docking compartment itself just below it

109
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:35,360
the diamond shaped docking target

110
00:05:40,390 --> 00:05:37,680
the progress is aligning its forward

111
00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:40,400
docking probe with that docking target

112
00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:51,749
we're continuing to monitor automatic

113
00:05:55,990 --> 00:05:52,960
approach

114
00:05:58,150 --> 00:05:56,000
we see the target crosshairs are aligned

115
00:05:59,510 --> 00:05:58,160
happy

116
00:06:02,629 --> 00:05:59,520
it is

117
00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:02,639
one square off to the center in relation

118
00:06:14,390 --> 00:06:12,550
progress in the international space

119
00:06:25,990 --> 00:06:14,400
station currently flying almost directly

120
00:06:34,230 --> 00:06:30,430
range is about 20 meters range rate is

121
00:06:38,870 --> 00:06:34,240
0.12 we see the target

122
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,070
the target

123
00:07:14,950 --> 00:06:45,189
is um half a square to the left and half

124
00:07:17,909 --> 00:07:16,390
again

125
00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:17,919
okay then bring up

126
00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:20,000
agency i'm activating the player center

127
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,830
activity operation

128
00:07:35,029 --> 00:07:30,870
i see four leds activating agency modes

129
00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:38,710
we're continuing the approach monitoring

130
00:07:42,309 --> 00:07:40,000
turn off

131
00:07:50,629 --> 00:07:44,309
operation command okay let me compute

132
00:07:54,710 --> 00:07:53,510
okay i confirm

133
00:08:11,110 --> 00:07:54,720
i'm

134
00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:12,070
center

135
00:08:15,919 --> 00:08:19,270
okay

136
00:08:24,869 --> 00:08:22,469
um rain will continue approach uh

137
00:08:33,509 --> 00:08:24,879
range rate is nominal

138
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:37,350
we're continuing to monitor

139
00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:39,909
target is in the center of the cow cross

140
00:08:44,389 --> 00:08:41,680
hairs are aligned

141
00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:44,399
we're still seeing slight roll

142
00:08:49,509 --> 00:08:46,480
within about half a degree

143
00:08:53,910 --> 00:08:52,470
range approaching the five meter mark

144
00:08:55,990 --> 00:08:53,920
closing at a rate of one-tenth of a

145
00:08:58,630 --> 00:08:56,000
meter per second

146
00:09:00,949 --> 00:08:58,640
flight controllers on both sides of the

147
00:09:02,470 --> 00:09:00,959
atlantic ocean standing by for contact

148
00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:02,480
and capture

149
00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:08,230
target is basically in the center of

150
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,350
range rate is nominal copy

151
00:09:20,829 --> 00:09:17,670
there is slight role

152
00:09:26,389 --> 00:09:24,389
is perfect in the center we're expecting

153
00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:26,399
um capture

154
00:09:30,949 --> 00:09:28,800
uh range rate is nominal

155
00:09:32,949 --> 00:09:30,959
crosshair is our alliance capture we

156
00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:32,959
have indicator mode

157
00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:34,560
we have uh

158
00:09:39,670 --> 00:09:38,080
mechanical docking confirmed at 6 41 a.m

159
00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:39,680
central time

160
00:09:46,949 --> 00:09:42,959

161
00:09:50,310 --> 00:09:48,949
on the 11th anniversary of the arrival

162
00:09:52,230 --> 00:09:50,320
of the first residents of the

163
00:09:54,710 --> 00:09:52,240
international space station

164
00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:54,720
supplies have arrived to fortify the
