A NASA astronaut and his two Russian crewmates made the fastest-ever trip to the International Space Station on Thursday, arriving less than six hours after launch. "Contact and capture," Russian cosmonaut Pavel Vinogradov, commander of the Soyuz space capsule, reported at 10:28 p.m. ET. /quote As Alan Boyle reports at http://cosmiclog.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/03/28/17505443-us-russian-crew-hooks-up-with-space-station-after-fastest-ride-ever they cut the flight time from 2 days and 30 orbits to just 4 orbits. The procedure (and navigation upgrades, it seems) was tested in the 3 previous Progress launches. /dps -- Who, me? And what lacuna? |
