Quote from: SaloI am inclined to believe Novitsky. The difficult question is who to trust.According to the picture that came from the TV camera of the ship, the touch was at 14:05:01 UHF (the image wavered).A little later, on the upper left screen of the MCC in MCC-M, the touch time appeared at 14:05:02, while on the lower right screen, according to telemetry data, the touch was at 14:05:05.Novitsky reported the time of the mechanical capture - 14:05:06, Roscosmos wrote 14:05:07, NASA said 14:05:03.I am always guided by the picture from the TV camera of the ship.
