Soyuz Spacecraft Carrying Billionaire Tourist Finally Docks With Space Station





AFP: A Russian Soyuz capsule carrying second-time space tourist Charles Simonyi along with a US and a Russian astronaut docked Saturday at the International Space Station, media reports quoted the control centre near Moscow as saying.

Officials said the astronauts had overridden the spacecraft’s automatic pilots to dock manually after a glitch in an engine caused the Soyuz’s computer to stop the process.
