Aboard their Soyuz TMA-13M spacecraft, Reid Wiseman, Soyuz Commander Maxim Suraev and Alexander Gerst are scheduled to dock at 9:48 p.m. EDT to the International Space Stations Rassvet module. NASA Television coverage of the docking will begin at 9 p.m. and continue through the operation. The Soyuz crew will join Expedition 40 Commander Steve Swanson of NASA and Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos). NASA TV will resume at 11 p.m. to cover hatch opening between the two spacecraft and the welcome ceremony. Swanson, Skvortsov and Artemyev have lived aboard the space station since March. Watch live starting at 9 p.m. on NASA TV: nasa.gov/nasatv. It’s possible the docking may be visible on the High Definition Earth Viewing experiment because Rassvet is in view of one of the cameras. However, the space station will be in night, so visibility may be very limited. Watch HDEV at eol.jsc.nasa.gov/HDEV/. nasa/gov/station
