ISSCOM 8 October 2010 (071) Soyuz-TMA 01M launched on 7 Oct 2010 at 2311UTC. This Soyuz departed with a new crew to the ISS. This Soyuz-TMA M has a new on board computer and some systems for the movements control, which thusfar worked with analogue methods, had been replaced by digital versions. For this first flight with the upgraded computersystems the very skilled cosmonaut Kaleri had been selected as Soyuz commander. His crewmates are the Russian cosmonaut Skripochka and the American Scott Kelly. Communications: During the 3rd and 4th orbit I monitored the communications with TsUP. As usual the 121.750 Mc was in use. 1st pass in orbit 3, 0346-0350UTC: Kaleri about the activation of TV and a display. He was ready to record (or write down) something. He reports the results of 2 orbit corrections (engine impulses): The first one was in time and the amount was 2204 with a duration of 53 seconds. The second one was also in time, amount 1271 and duration 28 seconds. They had no remarks about the orbit parameters. They are reeady to do something. 2nd pass in orbit 4, 0516-0518UTC: Kaleri reports that the 5th worked from 27.2 until 27.9. DR had been given and so they switched this off. About a TK command and a message about a program. On S20 nothing was recorded for the time being and they gave format 42. There were no remarks about the TV-test. They are ready to sometyhing and Kal asks TsUP to repeat program 5. (The docking at the MIM-2, Poisk, is planned for Oct. the 10th at 0002UTC) Chris van den Berg, NL-9165
