Soyuz Docking With Station Delayed to Thursday

Space Station Mission Operations Integration Manager Kenny Todd talks with Public Affairs Officer Brandi Dean about the postponement of the Soyuz's docking with the International Space Station.

NASA astronaut Steve Swanson and Russian cosmonauts Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev launched aboard the Soyuz TMA-12M on Tuesday at 5:17 p.m. EDT from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The three were expected to dock Tuesday night but reverted to a backup 34-orbit rendezvous, which will result in an arrival and docking on Thursday.
