Lancement, Amarrage & retour sur terre: Soyouz TMA-06M

For the first time since 1984, the manned launch took place from the Russian-leased Baikonur cosmodrome's launch pad 31. The pad that is normally used, from which Yury Gagarin began his landmark space mission in 1961, is undergoing modernization.

Il n'y avait pas d'étage Fregat sur ce vol. C'est le troisième étage de Soyouz-FG, le Bloc I, qui a été numéroté 38872.

source from the Baikonur space center told Interfax earlier that the landing of the crew of the long-duration International Space Station (ISS) Expedition 34 on board the Soyuz TMA-06M spacecraft had been postponed to a reserve date due to unfavorable weather conditions at the landing site in Kazakhstan.

“The landing has been postponed to March 16 from March 15 for weather conditions,” he said.

D'autres sources sur twitter parlent d'un "undocking" pour 00H30GMT, peut-on avoir une confirmation?

Thursday's Soyuz departure activities begin when the command to open hooks and latches firmly holding the capsule to its docking port is sent at 8:27 p.m. EDT. Physical separation between the two craft occurs three minutes later at 8:30 p.m. (0030 GMT)

Russian space program officials are reviewing the weather forecast for tonight's landing of the Soyuz and Expedition 34 crew members, potentially deciding later today to postpone the capsule's return to Earth by 24 hours.

Managers will meet this afternoon (U.S. time) to make a final "go" or "no go" call.

Fog and freezing rain delayed some search and recovery helicopters from deploying to the town of Arkalyk from their staging site in Kustanai, Kazakhstan. The Soyuz is scheduled to touch down about 50 miles north-northeast of Arkalyk at 11:57 p.m. EDT tonight.

Improving weather conditions are expected over the next 24 hours, NASA says.

#Soyuz and #ISS hatches scheduled to close at 5:15 pm EDT. Watch live on NASA TV beginning at 4:45 pm
