Mission highlights
Soyuz TMA-19M was launched atop of a Soyuz-FG rocket at 11:03:09 GMT on 15 December 2015 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan. Following the launch, the Soyuz spacecraft successfully achieved orbital insertion 9 minutes later and began its 4-orbit journey to the Space Station. Unusually, while docking, the Kurs docking navigation system failed, and a manual docking had to be performed by Yuri Malenchenko. This delayed docking with the ISS by 10 minutes. The Soyuz docked with the ISS at 17:33:29 GMT the same day.[5] The crew then boarded the ISS at 19:58 GMT.[5]
