• Moscow just cleared the crew for Progress hatch opening
• #173 by Targeteer on 05 Jul, 2015 10:00
• The hatch is open.  It wouldn't open for the first ten minutes but the crew reports that is normal behavior.

   Today, July 5, 2015, at 10:11 MSK logistics vehicle (THC) "Progress M-28M" docked with the Pirs docking compartment of the Russian segment of the ISS.
  
   Automatic docking operations were conducted under the supervision of the ISS commander Gennady Padalka, flight engineer Mikhail Kornienko and experts Mission Control Center FSUE TsNIIMash.
  
   Search ISS, closer to the station and docking systems have been using the RATE-A created Precision Instruments Research Institute (part of the "Russian Space Systems").
  
   Radio system of mutual measurements (SVR) to search, rendezvous and docking of spacecraft "Kurs-A" used to determine the relative motion parameters and automatic docking TGK "Progress M-28M" to the ISS.  The system measures the mutual distance, radial and angular speed, bearing angles, orientation and tilt.  High-precision multi-parameter data make it possible to determine the vector of mutual status spacecraft and implement automatic docking.
  
   TGK "Progress M-28M" delivered to the ISS in 2381 kg of cargo, including oxygen, fuel, equipment for scientific experiments and supplies equipment and containers with food and water, parcels for the crew.

• Thank you Chris B. for the coverage!  Although as soon as I saw the low page count this morning, I knew that it had gone smoothly

  "Congratulations. Your cargo vehicle has arrived".
  

  
  Now I can offer my congratulations to the teams for a successful launch & docking!
  We can now breathe a huge sigh of relief.
  
  Thanks for the early morning coverage.

• Yes! Third time is a charm. Well done, Russia.
• #178 by Galactic Penguin SST on 19 Dec, 2015 08:40
• So apparently this poor Progress has undocked from the ISS at 07:35 UTC without anyone noticing, including me due to busy work (did NASA TV have coverage at all?).
  
  I now demand that the unfavorable bias on Progress undockings against that of other visiting ships be fixed in the future!
