00:0080 meters now separating progress from Poisk.
00:30At a distance of about 47 meters, just moments from now, the progress will conduct a routine
00:41braking thruster test as the docking system on the progress will be activated.
00:49I do not clearly see the target yet.
00:54About half a cell off.
00:57Copy.
00:59Flying from southwest to northeast, 260 miles over eastern Brazil now.
01:13The progress just 55 meters away from its destination.
01:26Range is 50 meters.
01:37Range rate is 02.
01:40Now just under 50 meters separating progress from Poisk.
01:44The target is almost in the center. It's a little bit just to the right and up by about half a cell.
01:56Copy.
01:57The target is adjusted to the right by one cell.
02:1202 is the range rate and range is 45.
02:18Inaudible.
02:19Inaudible.
02:20Copy.
02:21Copy.
02:22I'll copy.
02:23From this camera angle, the progress will be disappearing from view behind structure on the station.
02:32Range is 40 meters 018 range rate and the target is shifted to the right by one cell. Copy.
02:45And a good view now.
02:46And a good view now of progress through another camera on the outside of the International Space Station.
02:56Less than 40 meters from docking.
02:58Less than 40 meters from docking.
03:01Closing at a rate of just over one-tenth of a meter per second.
03:05The target is in the center.
03:08The range is 35 meters.
03:13The range rate is 013.
03:15Copy.
03:16Eight minutes until the eclipse.
03:28Docking, forge.
03:29I don't see the docking, forge, too well, too clearly.
03:34I'm, you know, I'm getting the point.
03:35I don't, I'm getting the point.
03:42clearly. I do not see any major offsets. 31 current range rate 031, 30 meters. I can
03:56execute the 30 meter range PPS command. Four LEDs, they release it and no longer
04:07eliminated. Sending the back away enabled. Four LEDs for... Again the view from the
04:23progress camera. Less than 30 meters separating progress from its port of
04:29call on the Poisk module at the space facing side of the station's Russian
04:33segment. Closing at a steady rate of just over one-tenth of a meter per second.
04:40If you give me a go, I will try to use AGC mode again. Yes, I will give you a go.
04:52The view that you saw just a second ago showed a diamond-shaped docking target right at the center
05:09of the crosshairs of the Progress' external camera. There it is in view once again. The
05:13Poisk docking port just above those crosshairs at the top of your view.
05:1920-meter range. The target is in the center and the misalignment is very minor. Copy all.
05:2920 meters now separating progress from Poisk. Everything looking good.
05:5616 meters. Showing at 17. There is very minor misalignment between the crosshairs. Copy.
06:05The Corps' automated rendezvous system doing what it's supposed to. Guiding the progress in for a
06:14precise alignment. The forward docking probe is extended. Everything is set for contact and capture
06:21just a few minutes from now. Copy.
06:26The range is about 12 meters, but it's showing 15 to 16 meters, and the range rate is 0.09.
06:48is the range rate, and the crosshairs are basically aligned.
06:53Approaching 10 meters of separation between Progress and Poisk.
06:57Visually, the range is about 10 meters. It's showing as 12. 009 is the range rate, and the crosshairs are basically aligned.
07:15There is a little shift along the yaw axis, a little bit shifted to the right.
07:28The International Space Station in Progress now passing off the northeast coast of Brazil.
07:52Everything looking good. The target is in the middle, and the crosshairs are aligned, and the shift,
07:59the misalignment is very, very minor.
08:02Not audible.
08:07The video is not very clear. I am continuing to monitor. The target is a little lower by half a cell.
08:29Range is less than 3 meters. Under 3 meters.
08:36Everything is still looking good, good alignment. Standing by for contact and capture.
08:52Range is about a 1 meter. We're expecting contact.
08:59The range rate is...
09:02Contact. Capture confirmed. Docking confirmed at 4.25 p.m. Central Time, 5.25 p.m. Eastern Time.
09:12Progress has arrived at the Poisk module of the International Space Station.
09:19Docking occurring 260 miles over the South Atlantic.
09:27We are waiting for next instructions. Copy.
09:36And the forward docking probe on Progress now beginning to retract to bring the two surfaces,
09:44the docking interfaces, if you will, between Progress and Poisk flush against one another
09:50for the initiation of the closing of the Hooks on Progress.
09:56Once again, docking occurring at 4.25 p.m. Central Time, 5.25 p.m. Eastern Time,
10:03as Progress and the Space Station flew 260 miles over the South Atlantic.
10:09And after that, we're going to perform the Toro deactivation.
10:16Okay, I am waiting for the attraction.
10:22It's going to be about eight minutes time.
10:28Okay, copy.
10:46As we wait for the completion of the retraction of the forward docking probe
10:51and the relative motion between the two vehicles to dampen out,
10:55that will start the closing of the Hooks for Progress to form a hard mate between it and the Poisk module.
11:03So the journey that began two days ago with its launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan is complete.
11:202.8 tons of food, fuel, and supplies being delivered to the residents on board the International Space Station.
11:272.9.
11:412.9.
12:17The final procedures to be completed with the progress now docked to the International
12:23Space Station.
12:29A busy week lies ahead for the crew on board the International Space Station, the final
12:34week of activity for the Axiom-4 private astronauts on board.
