[ISS] Docking of Expedition 30 to Station in Soyuz TMA-03M

  • 12 years ago
The Expedition 30 Crew Members docked to the International Space Station today, December 23rd 2011, at 15:19 UTC.

Oleg Kononenko, André Kuipers and Don Pettit are due to enter the station complex after hatches open at around 18:00 UTC.

Reports state they can consider themselves lucky to have launched, after a Soyuz 2 rocket launch failed on December 23rd, and had they been scheduled to launch after that would surely have been postponed.
