Docking
Soyuz TMA-19 docked with the International Space Station on June 17 2010at 22:25 UTC. It docked with the aft port of the Zvezda module. Ahead of docking, the ISS handed over attitude control to the Russian Orbital Segment at 19:00 UTC, and at 19:17 maneuvered to provide an optimum attitude for docking. At 20:06, the automated rendezvous sequence started. The Kurs docking systems aboard the Soyuz and the Space Station were activated at 20:52 and 20:54 respectively. TMA-19 began station keeping at around 20:08 UTC, before it commenced its final approach at 20:16.
Twenty minutes after docking, hooks were closed securing the Soyuz to the station. Once this was completed, the ISS returned to its normal attitude. Attitude control was returned to the US Orbital Segment at 23:45 UTC.
