Expedition 39/40 Trio’s Arrival at Space Station Delayed
“The next trio of crew members destined for the International Space Station is now looking forward to a Thursday arrival at the orbiting laboratory after their Soyuz spacecraft was unable to complete its third thruster burn to fine-tune its approach.”
New Crew Launches to Space Station
“Three crew members representing the United States and Russia are on their way to the International Space Station after launching from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 5:17 p.m. EDT Tuesday (3:17 a.m. on March 26 in Baikonur).”
Marc’s Update: The first additional burns have been completed successfully for the 34 orbit rendezvous. According to Space Station Mission Operations Integration Manager Kenny Todd “everything looks real good”.

    Looks ok. I was looking forward to rescue by Dragon. A tether or jet-pack and crew transfer. Hopefully enough fuel to go to ISS. If not then splash down. A lot of safety rules would be broken, but it would be an emergency. A marooned crew is the worst. Just shows that a backup system should have been in place when Shuttle stopped flying. Bad NASA.
