    I understand that the new Soyuz TM-33 (26955 = 01-048A) is due to
    dock with ISS tomorrow morning (i.e. Oct 23 ~10h UTZ or so). Examining
    the latest elements I found for this ...

    and ISS ...

    show that the apogee of Soyuz is still some 54 miles (87 km) below the
    ISS perigee, which means that at least one more orbit adjustment burn
    is needed for a rendezvous.  Does anyone have an idea as to when such
    a burn (or burns) will occur?
    
    Thanks.
    
    Clear and dark skies!
