Shortly after midnight, at 6:36 CEST, a Russian Soyuz TMA-04M/30S docked successfully at the MRM2 Poisk module. The arrival doubles the station crew size to 6 persons and brings the total number of currently docked Russian visiting vehicles to 3:
- Soyuz TMA-03M/29S (#703) @ MRM1 “Rassvet”
- Soyuz TMA-04M/30S (#704) @ MRM2 “Poisk”
- Progress M-15M/47P (#415) @ DC-1 nadir
This is the 123rd mission to the ISS and Russia's 80th (plus 1 failed). Since the first launch, of the FGB Zarya module on a Proton-K on 20 November 1998, there have also been a total of 37 US missions, 3 European missions (ATV-1, ATV-2, ATV-3) and 2 Japanese missions (HTV1, HTV2).
