@adamb0000

They can indeed. Unmanned progress vehicles have docked and are docking to the station smoothly. But I'm sure the Americans can do so as well.

[PCRCC]

Russians and Europeans are the only ones that dock to the station in full automatic mode. USA only have test automatic docking on a military test satellite, and was not fully successful.

[Dragonlor140]

Oh, I wasn't aware of that :D

Well I guess every space organisation has its own advantages and disadvantages.

[adamb0000]

@Dragonlor140 no the US doesnt do this yet - that was my point

[Tank797]

I dont like snap shots :(

[adamb0000]

perfect! although the Russians can do this unmanned right?

[HordeFTL]

No the russian module that docked before is completely differant, Russians and Americans both go up on manned missions to the ISS

[adamb0000]

@HordeFTL yeah sure it was different in that it was for cargo and unmanned. i am aware that both the US and the Russians send manned ships - but the US doesnt send automatic ships as yet. the Russians are some how ahead of us in some fields - and we are ahead in others - although currently docked to the ISS there are 4 Russian ships and one US - the Endeavour. and it looks like the Japs will be next back to the moon now.

WTF ? lag ?

[fizal00]

congrats!

[hackneysaregreat]

well done!

[Rigo0Jancsi]

@KingGoddard: Just as zer0graph says: not enough contrast range to get the exposure right for the well lit docking facilities and for the stars at the same time. And regarding the video: It says in the off-voice that these are snap-shots, so don't expect it to be moving pictures. :-)

[KingGoddard]

Why aren't there any stars and why is this video so crappy?

[zer0graph]

@KingGoddard there are no stars for the same reason you don't see stars in the Moon landing videos: exposure. If you expose for something very bright (under sunlight or other kinds of direct light) the stars will be too dim to be seen.
