Russia's Soyuz docks at space station

KOROLYOV, Russia - A Russian spaceship carrying a U.S.-Russian crew and an Italian astronaut docked Sunday at the international space station, launching a mission that paves the way for the first U.S. space flight to the orbiting outpost since the Columbia explosion two years ago.

The Soyuz is visible from a television camera on the International Space Station as the two crafts prepare to dock Saturday, April 16, 2005. The new ISS crew, Russian commander Sergei Krikalev and U.S. astronaut John Phillips are aboard the Soyuz capsule. European Space Agency astronaut Roberto Vittori is traveling with Kriklalev and Phillips and will return to Earth April 25th with the outgoing ISS crew. (AP

The Soyuz spaceship locked onto the station at 6:20 a.m. (10:20 p.m. EST). The three cosmonauts who blasted off Friday from the Baikonur cosmodrome in the Central Asian nation of Kazakhstan were to enter the station about three hours later and greet the two men who have operated the space station for the last six months.

Fred Gregory, NASA deputy administrator, congratulated Russian space officials and said the resumption of U.S. space shuttle flights was on schedule.

"The return to flight activities for the shuttle appears to be on time," Gregory said. "We are hopeful that we'll be able to launch within the first window," which he said was May 15-June 3.

The shuttle program has been suspended for two years, with the Russian Soyuz capsule — a relatively light 7 tons — being the only means of getting astronauts to the station since Columbia disintegrated as it returned to Earth on Feb. 1, 2003. Russian cargo ships alone have delivered fresh supplies during the interim.

At Russian Mission Control in Korolyov, outside Moscow, engineers monitored the docking via a video feed from a camera affixed to the spaceship and broke into applause when they saw that the automatic parking system had operated flawlessly.

Valery Lyndin, a mission control spokesman, told the ITAR-TASS news agency on Saturday that the outgoing crew members — Cosmonaut Salizhan Sharipov and U.S. astronaut Leroy Chiao — had tidied up the orbital home for the new arrivals, cleaning all inner panels and equipment with special napkins.

The two were due to return to Earth along with Italian Roberto Vittori from the European Space Agency on April 25.

The outgoing crew has also packed all their possessions, experiment results and photos and videocassettes they will take back with them to Earth, he said.

They will be replaced by Russian Sergei Krikalev and American John Phillips, who will have the key task of observing the condition of the insulating tiles as the Discovery approaches the station, conducting a photo survey of the exterior of the shuttle while it is maneuvering prior to docking.

The 46-year-old Krikalev has logged 624 days in space on missions both to the ISS and the Russian space station Mir. At the end of the current mission, his sixth, Krikalev will have spent 800 days in space — more than any other astronaut.
