alexpgpMy assignment started at 8 pm, one hour in advance of the scheduled docking of the latest Progress cargo vehicle to the ISS. The MSR was packed with the usual crowd, plus some VIPs who are in town for a meeting.
The docking went well. In fact, "picture perfect" were the words used by the ISS Flight Director in his congratulatory exchange with the Russian MSR lead.
The Russians left abour 30 minutes ago, although the US specialist who was here monitoring the video feed is still around. The night shift will be here in about 45 minutes.
I managed to get about two hours of sleep before coming in to work. Translation earlier in the day was nominal. Now to see if I can squeeze out another few hundred words before the night shift gets here.
Cheers...
