Live Coverage Tomorrow -- Of Soyuz 25 Docking At ISS -- And Crew Transfers...


We've taken a bit of a special interest in this one -- ever since the first launch scrubbing (last Thursday morning), at T minus 21 seconds. It is now all normal, and in orbit, sailing flawlessly toward tomorrow morning's docking.

Here's the latest, from NASA:

. . .Dyson, along with her crewmates Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy and spaceflight participant Marina Vasilevskaya of Belarus, will dock to the space station’s Prichal module about 11:09 a.m. on Monday, March 25, on the Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft.

Docking coverage will begin at 10:15 a.m. on NASA+, NASA Television, the NASA app, YouTube, and the agency’s website. NASA also will air coverage, starting at 1:15 p.m., of the crew welcome ceremony on NASA+ once they are aboard the orbital outpost. Learn how to stream NASA TV through a variety of platforms including social media.

When the hatches between the station and the Soyuz open about 1:40 p.m., the new crew members will join NASA astronauts Loral O’Hara, Matthew Dominick, Mike Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, as well as Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chub, and Alexander Grebenkin, already living and working aboard the space station. . . .


Now you know. . . Zoom call with the great grown kids -- in five minutes here. . . smile.
