00:0080 meters now separating progress from Poisk.
00:33At a distance of about 47 meters, just moments from now, the progress will conduct a routine
00:40braking thruster test as the docking system on the progress will be activated.
00:48I do not clearly see the target yet.
00:53About half a cell off.
00:56Copy.
01:06Flying from southwest to northeast, 260 miles over eastern Brazil now.
01:13The progress just 55 meters away from its destination.
01:35Range is 50 meters.
01:37Range rate is 02.
01:39Now just under 50 meters separating progress from Poisk.
01:45The target is almost in the center.
01:50It's a little bit just to the right and up by about half a cell.
01:55Copy.
02:05The target is adjusted to the right by one cell.
02:1202 is the range rate and range is 45.
02:22Inaudible.
02:23Copy.
02:24Copy.
02:25Copy.
02:26Copy.
02:26Copy.
02:26From this camera angle, the progress will be disappearing from view behind structure on the
02:32station.
02:32Range is 40 meters 018 range rate and the target is shifted to the right by one cell.
02:42Copy.
02:44And a good view now of progress through another camera on the outside of the International Space
02:50Station.
02:57Less than 40 meters from docking.
03:01Closing at a rate of just over one-tenth of a meter per second.
03:05Be sure.
03:07The target is in the center.
03:105 meters.
03:11Range is 35 meters.
03:13The range rate is 01.3.
03:15Copy.
03:31Fill in..
03:32Do.
03:33Did.
03:34Do.
03:34minutes until the Eclipse docking for it I don't see the docking for it too well
03:41too clearly I do not see any major offsets 31 current range rate 031 30
03:55meters I can execute the 30 meter range PPS command or LEDs they release it and no
04:07longer eliminated sending the back away enabled before LEDs or again the view from
04:22the progress camera less than 30 meters separating progress from its port of
04:29call on the poisk module at the space facing side of the stations Russian
04:33segment closing at a steady rate of just over 1 10th of a meter per second if you
04:45give me a go I will try to use AGC mode again yes I will give you a go
05:02the 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 docking
05:15port just above those crosshairs at the top of your view 20 meter range the target is in the center
05:23center and the misalignment is here in me is very minor copy all
05:5120 meters now separating progress from poisk everything looking good
06:06the 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
06:22copy
06:39visually range is about 12 meters but it's showing 15 to 16 meters and the range rate is zero zero
06:47nine
06:51is the range rate and the crosshairs are basically aligned
06:53approaching 10 meters of separation between progress and poisk
07:05the range is about 10 meters it's showing as 12 zero zero nine is the range rate and the crosshairs
07:16are
07:16basically aligned there is a little shift to the along the yaw axis a little bit shifted to the right
07:44the 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
08:06not audible
08:16the video is not very clear
08:21I am continuing to monitor the target is a little lower by half a cell
08:33range is less than three meters under three meters
08:45everything is still looking good good alignment
08:51standing by for contact and capture
08:59the range rate is
09:02contact capture confirmed
09:04docking confirmed
09:06at 425 p.m. central time 525 p.m. eastern time
09:12progress has arrived at the poisk module of the international space station
09:29and the forward docking probe on progress now beginning to retract to bring the two surfaces the docking interfaces if
09:45you will between the
09:47between progress and poisk flush against one another for 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 as progress and the space
10:04station flew 260 miles over the south atlantic
10:10and after that we're going to perform the tour of the activation
10:16okay I am
10:17waiting for your
10:19for your
10:20for your
10:21for your
10:21traction it's going to be about eight minutes
10:24time
10:27ok copy
10:30ok
10:46as we wait for the completion of the retraction of the forward docking probe and the relative motion between the
10:53two vehicles to dampen out that will start the
10:56closing the closing of the hooks for progress to form a hard mate between it and the poisk module
11:12so the journey that began two days ago with its launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan
11:17is complete
11:192.8 tons of food fuel and supplies being delivered to the residents on board the international space station
11:54going to be open for a while
11:55now
11:56as we have a
11:56that has been carried out
11:56the
11:56of
11:56the
12:15As we stand by for the final procedures to be completed with the progress now docked
12:22to the International Space 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.
