• It was the fast docking. I can't say that was a real station-keeping on 200m.

• I would know if the Soyuz, for docking to the Pirs port, approached
  the station perpendicular in respect of the orbital traiectory.
  If I'm not wrong, in similar cases, the whole MIR did rotate by 90°.

• Soyuz TMA-12 will only stay at Pirs for about four weeks, then the Expedition 17 crew will swap to the Zarya docking port.

• Hatch opening in 11 minutes..
  
  I think it's because of the PAO event time constraints due to KU or something, can't listen to Russian and PAO and Translator at the same time.
