The Russian Soyuz TMA-3 manned transport spacecraft has been docked to the
Orbital Complex of the International Space Station (ISS). Contact of the

spacecraft and complex were in the radio visibility of Russian ground
measuring stations.
The Soyuz TMA-3 spacecraft approached the ISS Orbital Complex after two days
of the autonomous flight on the near-earth orbit, completing on the final
portion of this phase all necessary operations on rendezvous to the complex
and final approach to it in the automatic mode.
