Suraev and Expedition 22commander Jeffrey Williams were the first to use the new docking portwhen they relocated their Soyuz TMA-16 spacecraft from the aft port ofthe Zvezda Service Module on Jan. 21.
Another one is that the target flight module designed as required for follow-on space LABS can test and verify the key skill while completing the task of rendezvous and docking.
The docking process of the module was analyzed. When the uncertainty about control and geometry occurs, the basic geometric condition is analyzed to finish the docking action.
