Time lapse of the NASA TV feed of the docking of the Russian Space Agency (RSA) Soyuz TMA-03M spacecraft to the Rassvet module on the International Space Station (ISS) on December 23, 2011. The Soyuz carried NASA astronaut Don Pettit, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko, and Dutch astronaut Andre Kuipers of the European Space Agency (ESA).

The video is preceded by a graphic depicting the docked locations of various spacecraft at the ISS.

The time-lapse portion of the video is at 16 times actual speed. Some clips have been rotated 180 degrees for clarity of orientation.
