1 00:00:06,470 --> 00:00:03,990 the visiting vehicle officer here in 2 00:00:09,350 --> 00:00:06,480 mission control now reports uh that we 3 00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:09,360 are uh now in the fly around mode 4 00:00:13,190 --> 00:00:10,480 uh so 5 00:00:15,350 --> 00:00:13,200 soyuz vehicle has approached a slightly 6 00:00:16,630 --> 00:00:15,360 ahead of schedule actually and to begin 7 00:00:18,390 --> 00:00:16,640 its fly around 8 00:00:19,590 --> 00:00:18,400 this is a 9 00:00:23,109 --> 00:00:19,600 typical 10 00:00:24,070 --> 00:00:23,119 means of aligning the soyuz precisely 11 00:00:25,990 --> 00:00:24,080 to the 12 00:00:28,070 --> 00:00:26,000 hoist module of the international space 13 00:00:31,830 --> 00:00:28,080 station this is a fly around angle of 14 00:00:34,870 --> 00:00:31,840 about 110 degrees to permit the soyuz to 15 00:00:37,510 --> 00:00:34,880 be precisely aligned uh with the docking 16 00:00:39,670 --> 00:00:37,520 port of the poist module for a few 17 00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:39,680 seconds if you will of station keeping 18 00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:41,440 enabling the russian flight controllers 19 00:00:46,229 --> 00:00:44,000 here in korea to be able to assess their 20 00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:46,239 systems before the final command is 21 00:00:50,229 --> 00:00:47,760 given for the terminal phase of the 22 00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:50,239 rendezvous final approach for contact to 23 00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:52,079 capture 24 00:00:56,229 --> 00:00:54,800 but now back as we are in the final 25 00:00:57,430 --> 00:00:56,239 phase of the rendezvous to bring the 26 00:00:59,670 --> 00:00:57,440 soyuz 27 00:01:01,990 --> 00:00:59,680 mso2 vehicle to its docking to the 28 00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:02,000 international space station 29 00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:05,920 the soyuz is now just 290 meters away 30 00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:08,000 still in the process of its fly around 31 00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:10,000 to precisely the line itself with the 32 00:01:13,830 --> 00:01:12,400 poisk module on the space-facing side 33 00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:13,840 of the russian segment of the 34 00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:16,320 international space station all of the 35 00:01:21,030 --> 00:01:18,720 soyuz systems are in excellent shape the 36 00:01:23,749 --> 00:01:21,040 soyuz is currently at the international 37 00:01:26,149 --> 00:01:23,759 space station both crossing the west 38 00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:26,159 coast of africa directly over the gambia 39 00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:28,320 moving from southwest to northeast at an 40 00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:31,280 altitude of 250 statute miles 41 00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:33,920 trailing those two vehicles the orbital 42 00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:37,200 atk cygnus unmanned cargo craft that 43 00:01:40,630 --> 00:01:39,360 will arrive for its capture and 44 00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:40,640 installation 45 00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:42,720 to the international space station on 46 00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:44,960 sunday morning but first things first 47 00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:46,960 and that is the arrival of kimbrough 48 00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:49,360 riverkopf and varasenko just minutes 49 00:01:53,910 --> 00:01:51,840 away as the fly around is about to be 50 00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:53,920 completed for a period of a few seconds 51 00:01:57,190 --> 00:01:55,840 of station keeping that will enable 52 00:01:59,350 --> 00:01:57,200 russian flight controllers here at the 53 00:02:02,069 --> 00:01:59,360 russian mission control center outside 54 00:02:04,870 --> 00:02:02,079 of moscow to complete final checks on 55 00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:04,880 the soyuz spacecraft before the command 56 00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:15,670 the soyuz ms-02 vehicle 57 00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:17,760 currently sitting passively at a 58 00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:20,640 distance of about 192 meters away from 59 00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:22,480 the international space station 60 00:02:26,949 --> 00:02:24,160
