[b]Crew relocates Soyuz MS-13 to Poisk module[/b] Expedition 60 crew members Alexander Skvortsov of Roscosmos, Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency (ESA) and Drew Morgan of NASA relocated their Soyuz MS-13 spacecraft from the Zvezda service module where they docked on July 20 to the Poisk Mini-Research Module 2 (MRM 2) on Sunday (Aug. 25). The spacecraft separated from Zvezda at 11:35 p.m. EDT (0335 GMT) and docked to Poisk under manual control at 11:59 p.m. (0359 GMT). The relocation was performed to allow the uncrewed Soyuz MS-14 spacecraft to attempt a docking with Zvezda on Monday (Aug. 26), after it failed to dock with the Poisk module on Saturday. The initial attempt was aborted after what Russian flight controllers said was a suspected problem with a component associated with the Kurs automated rendezvous system for the Poisk module docking port. The suspect amplifier unit was not a factor for the manual relocation by Skvortsov and his Soyuz MS-13 crewmates.
