Press reports say to expect some manned Soyuz launches from 31 also this year. Might be a lot harder on visitors in the viewing gallery.

That's when the LV changes from Soyuz-FG to Soyuz-2 since LC-1/5 isn't compatible with Soyuz-2.

Good work Ron with the video. We'll keep this thread going for the docking, which will be a live thread with NASA TV coverage.

Usually, the launcher integration is made in one day.
But for this flight, it seems that it has been made in two steps :
- integration of KGCh with 3rd stage on 6th february
- integration on 3rd and 2nd stages on 7th february
Is this right ? And why ?

The launch objective is to deliver onboard the ISS various cargoes, required to keep the station operating in a manned mode and support crew life-sustaining environment and operating conditions. Reserves of oxygen, air, food products, fuel, consumables, apparatus, equipment, on-board documentation and e.t.c. were launched into orbit from the Earth.
Total cargoes mass is about 2,4 t.
The transport cargo vehicle was inserted into reference near-earth orbit with the following parameters: inclination of 51,63 ; minimum altitude of 192,5 km; maximum altitude of 249,6 km; orbital period of 88,62 min.
