Soyuz switches docking ports on ISS
Posted: Wed, Oct 11, 2006, 8:04 AM ET (1204 GMT)
The crew of the International Space Station boarded a Soyuz spacecraft and took a quick trip from one docking port on the station to another. The three-person ISS crew — Michael Lopez-Alegria, Mikhail Tyurin, and Thomas Reiter, flew in the Soyuz TMA-9 from the aft docking port on the Zvezda service module to the nadir docking port on the Zarya module on Tuesday, a trip that started at 3:14 pm EDT (1914 GMT) and ended 20 minutes later. The maneuver was intended to free up the Zvezda docking port for a Progress cargo spacecraft scheduled for launch later this month.
