Soyuz TMA-10M Launch and Docking - September 25, 2013

• Event concluded a couple of minutes back, but they heard some transmission toward the end. Unintelligible really, so now asking MCC-M to check comms.
  
  Still standing by though. Josh clarifies: The Baikonur transmission ended, but they're waiting on some calls from MCC-Moscow apparently.
  
  Right.. lost Ku, so MCC-M wishes them bon appetit, and says they'll talk later. Oh wait, they're communicating congratulations over audio now. NASA TV wraps up coverage though.

  It is joke because two of three Soyuz TMA-10M crewmembers have medical degree.

  Is there video of the astronauts actually entering the Soyuz from the access tower?  I have never seen video of that.
  

  
  I had the same question last year. On page 16 of the linked Q and A thread there is a Russian TV video that shows footage that I haven't seen anywhere else, including entry into the spacecraft at the launch complex. It's in Russian obviously, but it's still very interesting.

  Prime and back-up crew members portraits...
  

  
  Heyy !!!
  These "new" portraits are fake ! Compare with the official portraits made for Soyuz TMA-08M backup crew : they just put a TMA-10M patch on the spacesuits with PhotoShop !
