A scaled movie that contains the whole story that the International Space Station and the space ship dock



In March 2015 Russian space ship "Soyuz"But"International Space Station(ISS) "dockingNASA released a movie that took time lapse photographs. You can see the whole story of how the two spaceships approach closely precisely in the vast universe far above the ground and finally docking.

ISS and Soyuz docking images can be seen from the following movies.


"Soyuz", a Russian one - to three - person manned spacecraft, caught the International Space Station (ISS). This picture is taken from the camera attached to Soyuz.


Soyuz, launched from Republic of Kazakhstan, reached the same altitude as ISS in about 6 hours. I am just about to enter docking position. With a general aircraft, it is only 6 hours to fly 3459 miles (5567 km) between New York and London, but the Soyuz of the space rocket is 100,000 miles (161,000 km) at the same time, I'm flying away the distance to make four laps. In the lower right there is something like an antenna rotated, but this is a docking radar attached to Soyuz.


Soyuz is adjusting the direction of the aircraft according to the direction of ISS docking mechanism. You can see the figure of the earth behind the ISS, you can see the docking work is proceeding with the magnificent sight backing.



The red light flashing near the ISS is the light emitted by the camera shooting the approach to the ISS.


The distance between the ISS and the Soyuz has been quite compact. Until then, since both aircraft were flying while flickering, I thought "I can dock while doing a fluffy ...?", But surprisingly there was no tremor when the approach approached.


ISS is in front of me. Because there is no background and there is no shake of the aircraft, we actually have to fly at an ultra-high speed of about 7.7 km / sec, and you will learn the illusion as if it is stopped in the air. movies"Interstellar"There is also a docking scene of the spaceship, but if you look at the image this time, you can see that the real docking work was realistically reproduced.


The course is decided towards the docking mechanism, and as the distance gradually decreases, somehow light is inserted in the image.


As Soyuz further advanced, the joining part, which is a black dot in the circle, became visible.


The docking mechanism approached to the eyes, Soyuz successfully docked to the ISS without problems.


It is a valuable image that you can take a closer look at the work that requires tremendous precision to complete docking while actually flying in the universe without assistance such as a robot arm. This movie is about 2 minutes and 30 seconds in full story, but in fact it has taken time lapse for 15 minutes from when Soyuz and ISS started rendezvous to docking.


In addition to the videos released by NASA this time, Mr. Terry · W · Bartz, NASA's astronaut, has released videos taken from ISS and spacecraft on Twitter. The following movie is a time lapse movie that shot like a rainy starry sky.


Also, movie shooting aurora shining green from space has been released.
