The Russian Soyuz spacecraft carrying the 16th resident crew of the International Space Station now is within two kilometers of the orbiting outpost.
Watching on from the NASA Mission Control Center in Houston, Canadian astronaut Julie Payette -- serving as "Capcom" or Capsule Communicator -- said the view of the station from the Soyuz "looks like Darth Vader's ship."
Docking is scheduled for 10:52 a.m. EDT. You can watch live NASA TV coverage here in The Flame Trench. Simply click the link below the image above to launch our NASA TV viewer. Refresh this page for periodic updates.
