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, no, no, no, no.
03:17Thanks.
03:18It's in the back…
03:19A good view.
03:20Sorry.
03:21All right.
03:22They do.
03:23You might be waiting.
03:24No, no, no, no, no.
03:25Ok.
03:26That's great.
03:27Thanks.
03:28OK.
03:29Eight minutes until the Eclipse.
03:30Docking for it.
03:31I don't see the docking for it too well, too clearly.
03:44I do not see any major offsets 31 current range rate 031 30 meters I can
03:56execute the 30 meter range PPS command for LEDs they release it and no longer
04:08eliminated sending the back away enabled before LEDs or again the view from the
04:23progress camera range is 20 less than 30 meters separating progress from its
04:28port of call on the poisk module at the space facing side of the stations Russian
04:33segment closing at a steady rate of just over one-tenth of a meter per second if
04:45you give me a go I will try to use AGC mode again yes I would give you a go
04:54the view that you saw just a second ago showed a diamond shaped docking target
05:07right at the center of the crosshairs of the progress is external camera there it
05:12is in view once again the poisk docking port just above those crosshairs at the
05:17top of your view 20 meter range the target is in the center and the
05:24misalignment is very me it's very minor copy all
05:47the course automated rendezvous system doing what it's supposed to guiding the
06:13progress in for a precise alignment the forward docking probe is extended
06:17everything is set for contact and capture just a few minutes from now
06:22talking
06:37usually the range is about 12 meters but it's showing 15 to 16 meters and the
06:45range rate is zero zero nine the target is lower a bye-bye approaching 10 meters of
06:55separation between progress and poisk
06:59the range is about 10 meters it's showing as 12 0 0 9 is the range rate and the crosshairs are basically aligned
07:17there is a little shift to the along the yaw axis a little bit shifted to the right
07:27the international space station and progress now passing off the northeast coast of Brazil
07:51everything looking good the target is in the middle and the crosshairs are aligned and the shift the misalignment is very very minor
08:02inaudible
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
08:34under three meters
08:37under three meters
08:41the alignment is
08:43everything is still looking good good alignment
08:47right along the roll
08:49standing by for contact and capture
08:52one meter we are expecting contact
08:55contact
09:02contact capture confirmed
09:04docking confirmed
09:06at 425 p.m. central time 525 p.m. eastern time
09:11progress has arrived at the poisk module of the international space station
09:16docking occurring 260 miles over the south atlantic
09:23we are waiting for next instructions
09:34copy
09:35and the forward docking probe on progress now beginning to retract
09:40to bring the two surfaces the docking interfaces if you will
09:45between progress and poisk flush against one another
09:49for the initiation of the closing of the hooks on progress
09:55once again docking occurring at 425 p.m. central time 525 p.m. eastern time
10:02as progress and the space station flew 260 miles over the south atlantic
10:07after that we are going to perform the toro deactivation
10:14ok I am waiting for your
10:19for the attraction it's going to be about eight minutes time
10:25ok copy
10:36as we wait for the completion of the retraction of the forward docking probe
10:50and the relative motion between the two vehicles to dampen out that will
10:55start the closing of the hooks for progress to form a hard mate between it
11:01and the poisk module
11:11so the journey that began two days ago with its launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome
11:16in Kazakhstan
11:18is complete
11:202.8 tons of food fuel and supplies being delivered to the residents
