Title: LIVE: Soyuz re-location
Post by: Jamie Young on 03/20/2006 04:00 am

Thought I'd start a thread for this. Valery and Bill are having a big argument about some proceedure was done wrong.

Live on NASA TV.

NASA commentator is trying to detract away from it, but the Russian's are translating it. Was a bit heated just then!

I thought it was just me thinking they were arguing, but obviously not. Valery seemed VERY angry! Now they've gone to some pre-recorded tape.

Soyuz is still out of view, obscured by an Array. Alignment is done, contact soon. Continuing to monitor whatever error they have.

They mentioned SM, which is service module, a couple of times. NASA commentator isn't saying anything, but at least they docked ok.

Ah, no problems with the move, that is good. Very nice images!

Nice images. Didn't take long. Does it simply whiz around the ISS using RCS?

That Soyuz can certainly come in handy for a quick trip around the station.
