I think I heard the lady reporter at BACC mention a '1700 entry time', which would be 0900 UTC...

NEws reports 30 minutes to docking

Please, can anyone confirm this? :

Watching the picture of the SZ9 crew inside de DM, it seems to me that Liu Wang is seated for the docking in the CDR (centre) seat.

This remember me the Apollo CSM transition to dock with the LM  :)


PS
Watching that some people like football I have started a football thread on General discussion.  Do you like football?

(EDIT: I've love a football thread, especially with England's game coming up, but it's off topic for this site :( - Chris).

the relative speed of final approach seems quite fast when compared with ATV docking to ISS

Svetlana Savitskaya - First woman to perform an EVA

You have forgotten that her spacewalk was in her second flight in 1984. Her first flight was in 1982 and it does not relate with any political stunts. But I agree about Valentina Tereshkova.

Andrey -  so you don' t think the timing of Savitskaya's first and second flights was related to the announcement of Sally Ride's upcoming flight and, for the second, Kathryn Sullivan's EVA? At the time it seemed to those of us in the West to be a clear propaganda response - no Russian women in space since 1963, US decides to fly a woman, suddenly a Russian woman flies.
This was not helped by the tone of the Soviet documentaries of the time emphasizing in a hilariously sexist way how Soviet technology had advanced to the point that women could now perform EVAs, and the lack of followup (no full integration of women into the cosmonaut corps) was a contrast to NASA, where Ride's mission had a propaganda component but later flights by Resnik, Lucid, etc. were just business as usual.
 Kondakova of course is a slightly different story.

[Edit: I hate to find myself channelling JimO here :-):-)  You know that in general I have lots of respect for the former USSR program. I'm just relating what was a strong personal impression of mine about those events as a young person at the time]

Speaking of Savitskaya (now a Russian Duma member), CCTV is playing an interview with her right now!

Confirmation about seat change for automatic docking to be prepared if something goes wrong.

He's a very good anchor.

Latest is they are still checking the TG-1 air samples.
