Live Stream: ISS Hatch Opening and Welcome Ceremony

Tweet

After a flawless docking, The ISS and Soyuz hatch opening coverage will begin at 2:30AM EST on November 16. The actual opening is scheduled to be for 2:55AM EST, but the docking ran ahead of schedule, so the hatch opening may do the same. 

A welcome ceremony will air following the hatch opening. 

Two cosmonauts, Anton Shkaplerov and Anatoly Ivanishin, as well as one astronaut, Daniel Burbank will be joining the current crew of the ISS, Mike Fossum, Satoshi Furukawa, and Sergei Volkov. (See below the video for an image of the full 6 person Expedition 29 crew)

Watch the first manned launch to the International Space Station (ISS) since the failed Soyuz launch in August. This video is a live feed from SpaceFlightNow! The launch begins at 11:14PM EST.

The feed should begin automatically. (EDIT: I disabled automatic playing since the launch ended - It was a complete success!)

Two cosmonauts, Anton Shkaplerov and Anatoly Ivanishin, as well as one astronaut, Daniel Burbank will be ascending to the ISS in what is the first manned launch since the last Shuttle (Atlantis) docked on July 10 2011.

Vladimir Popovkin, the director of Roscosmos, the Russian Federal Space Agency is confident that the launch and docking will be carried out successfully. He was quoted as saying, "We have no doubt in our minds both the rocket and the vehicle are ready, all the activities have been done at the appropriate level of quality and reliability." Regardless, you can be sure that the world will watch with admiration as these three brave men ascend to the ISS.

If you view this after the launch the feed will just go to live NASA TV, if anything. I will make sure it doesn't start automatically following the Soyuz docking with the ISS.
