Subject: FW: Soyuz TMA-10M Launch-to-Docking Timeline...

Info. On our next Crew ride to ISS

 

 

 

below times are approximate on some line items and are based on liftoff time of 3:58:50 pm Central (4:58:50 EDT) Wednesday, Sept. 25.

 

For reference, Orbital's G. David Low Cygnus cargo spacecraft will be at a safe distance of about 600 miles (1000 kilometers) from the ISS at Soyuz launch and through docking. Cygnus continues to perform in excellent shape as controllers prepare for a Fault Isolation Zone (FIZ) reboot as early as today followed by retest. Rendezvous/berthing remains "no earlier than" Saturday.

 

In the meantime, tune in to NASA TV (www.nasa.gov/ntv on the web) for all the Soyuz launch, rendezvous and docking activities Wednesday…
