LIVE LAUNCH - DOCKING - HATCH OPENING - WELCOME CREW TO ISS:

UPDATE:

Well, today's events were VERY good indeed. There were no real problems or surprises other than a brief communications problem just before the Docking took place.

The thing I liked is that the whole event from launch to the hatch opening and them welcoming the other crew of the ISS took just over SIX hours.

UPDATE:

CONDENSED VERSION OF THE LAUNCH - DOCKING - HATCH OPENING - WELCOME CREW TO ISS . . .
