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.
03:16No thank you.
03:17No thank you.
03:18No thank you.
03:19No thank you.
03:20No thank you.
03:21No thank you.
03:26No thank you.
03:31Eight minutes until the Eclipse.
03:36Docking forge.
03:37I don't see the docking forge too well, too clearly.
03:42I do not see any major offsets 31 current range rate 031 30 meters I can execute the 30 meter
03:59range PPS command for LEDs they release it and no longer eliminated sending the back away enabled
04:11see four LEDs for again the view from the progress camera less than 30 meters separating progress
04:27from its port of call on the poisk module at the space facing side of the station's Russian segment
04:34closing 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
04:57the 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 is external camera there it is in view once again the poisk
05:14docking port just above those crosshairs at the top of your view the target is in the center and the
05:24misalignment is here in me is very minor copy all
05:2820 meters now separating progress from poisk everything looking good
05:55the course 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
06:37visually range is about 12 meters but it's showing 15 to 16 meters and the range rate is zero zero nine
06:47the target is lower by approaching 10 meters of separation between progress and poisk
06:57visually the range is about 10 meters it's showing as 12 zero zero nine is the range rate and the crosshairs
07:16are basically aligned there is a little shift to the along the yaw axis a little bit shifted to the right
07:27the international space station in progress now passing off the northeast coast of brazil everything looking good
07:55the target is in the middle and the crosshairs are aligned and the shift the 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 range is less than three meters
08:35under three meters
08:38everything's still looking good good alignment
08:48right along the roll standing by for contact and capture
08:53contact capture confirmed docking confirmed at 425 p.m. central time 525 p.m. eastern time progress has arrived at the poisk module of the international space station docking occurring 260 miles over the south atlantic
09:22and the forward docking probe on progress now beginning to retract to bring the two surfaces the docking interfaces if you will between progress and poisk flush against one another for the initiation of the close of the
09:29the hooks on progress on progress on progress on progress on progress on progress
09:36once again docking occurring at 425 p.m. central time
09:50525 p.m. eastern time 525 p.m. eastern time as progress and the space station flew 260 miles over the south atlantic
09:57once again docking occurring at 425 p.m. central time 525 p.m. eastern time as progress and the space station flew 260 miles over the south atlantic
10:05and after that we're going to perform the tour deactivation okay i am waiting for your
10:19direction it's going to be about eight minutes time
10:26okay copy
10:35as we wait for the completion of the retraction of the forward docking probe and the relative motion between
10:53the two vehicles to dampen out that will start the closing of the hooks for progress to form a hard mate
11:01between it and the poisk module
11:12so the journey that began two days ago with its launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan
11:18is a complete 2.8 tons of food fuel and supplies being delivered to the residents on board the international space station
11:30and out of Cincinnati
11:33and went across to the east east ê¹€
11:36we have to and go back to the north by 400 p.m. region
11:38and in gotten two statues
11:39be very happy to be able to build them
11:41for a range of the code
11:42are set up
11:44김 לע disso
12:15As we stand by for the final procedures to be completed with the progress now docked to the International Space Station.
12:29A busy week lies ahead for the crew on board the International Space Station, the final week of activity for the Axiom-4 private astronauts on board.
