The successful contact between the cargo ship and the station took place at 22:28:03 Moscow Time (2:28 p.m. EST) on November 18, when the two spacecraft were flying over Algeria in a 425.8 by 402.4-kilometer orbit with an orbital period of 92.6 minutes and an inclination of 51.7 ...
The transport ship then spent a few seconds in station-keeping position near the ISS, before initiating the flawless final approach and docking at 11:08 p.m. EDT on August 26, according to NASA (06:08 Moscow Time on August 27). In next few minutes, mission control confirmed that the do...
