MRM-2 Docking (time lapse)

Time lapse of the NASA TV feed of the rendezvous and docking of the Russian Space Agency's (RSA) Mini Research Module-2 (MRM-2), named "Poisk" (Russian for "Explore") with the International Space Station (ISS) on November 12, 2009.

The video is preceded three NASA graphics. The first shows the configuration of the MRM-2 with its modified-Progress propulsion module. The second is a diagram of the major components of the MRM-2. The final graphic shows the docked locations on the ISS of the Soyuz TMA-15 and Soyuz TMA-16 spacecraft, the Progress-35 automated resupply craft, as well as the location of the MRM-2.

The time-lapse portion of the video is at approximately 30 times actual speed. Some video clips have been rotated 180 degrees for clarity of orientation. There is no audio track.
