Delighted you's enjoyed, pity about the many loss of signals,but was a beautiful sight when the ISS camera's caught the approaching Soyuz.

Soyuz does not excite like the Shuttle, but it just does the job every time!

soft dock was earlier than expected,but hard dock(meaning it is securely docked to the ISS was confirmed at 21 minutes past the hour.)

In three hours the crew will enter the space station for a six month stay.

post docking news conference coming up soon.

Great job!
