Soyuz 23S, “Olympus” docked to the nadir side of the Space Station. This will be our ride back home to planet Earth when our work is complete here. Thought I would tweet this view out of the Cupola, as we were passing over the majestic snow-capped Caucuses. The sun rising and reflecting off the Caspian Sea.

@FLBSK No good chance. Only small windows and astronauts are seated in couches, safety belts tightened. Descent takes 2 orbits (3 hours) only. Check: http://www.russianspaceweb.com/soyuz_sa.html
