Dear Friends:
It's one o'clock, Saturday morning and I'm watching the NASA channel as a Russian rocket docks with the International Space Station. (ISS)
What's a little different about this particular mission is that there are no human crew members aboard the Soyuz rocket on this flight:

What's a little different about this particular mission is that there are no human crew members aboard the Soyuz rocket on this flight:
It's the first time that a robot (Skybot F-850) will take the commander's place in Soyuz — the Skybot will also monitor and report on conditions during the otherwise uncrewed flight, including the forces on the spacecraft as it enters orbit and the start of zero gravity.After the Soyuz returns to terra-firma the '850' is expected to take a short vacation in the Black Sea resort town of Sochi before returning to active duty in a couple of weeks!
The way I see it anyway!
