 The
Russian Soyuz TMA-5 manned transport spacecraft docked to
the Orbital Complex of the International Space Station (ISS).
Following a two-day free flight in near-earth orbit and
upon completion of all the required rendezvous operations
until the station-keeping in an automated mode relative
to the Space Station, Soyuz TMA-5 spacecraft approached
the ISS Orbital Complex. At the final rendezvous and birthing
stage at a distance of about 50 m from the Complex the crew
instructed by the Flight Director switched to the manual
control mode, and performed all subsequent operations (spacecraft
escape from the Complex, station-keeping relative to the
Complex, rendezvous, birthing and docking to the Complex)
in interaction with the Mission Control Center (MCC-M) in
Moscow area in compliance with the onboard procedures.

 A
Russian manned transportation spacecraft Soyuz TMA-5 developed
and manufactured at the S.P. Korolev Rocket and Space Corporation
Energia was launched to the International Space Station
(ISS), in low-Earth orbit since November 1998.
The launch of the Soyuz-FG launch vehicle carrying the Soyuz
TMA-5 spacecraft took place at 7:06:28 Moscow Daylight Saving
Time.
The purpose of the launch is the delivery to the ISS of
the crew of Expedition Ten (ISS-10), the scheduled rotation
of the Expedition Nine crew (ISS-9) and replacement of Soyuz
TMA-4, which has been providing assured crew return functionality
as a part of the space station since April 21, 2004.
