International Space Station to make low pass over Christmas rooftops
Russia’s Soyuz TMA-19M spacecraft carrying the International Space Station (ISS) Expedition 46/47 crew of Britain’s astronaut Tim Peake, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and United States astronaut Tim Kopra blasted off to the ISS on December 15, 2015. Kopra and Kelly released the brake handle during the spacewalk, freeing up the mobile transporter, Navias said.

This afternoon it will be visible from around 5.16 for about three minutes.
“Good news! It appears to have reached the work site”, astronaut Mike Hopkins in Mission Control told the spacewalkers a short time later.
Two hits performed by space station commander Scott Kelly helped to move cart forward.
“We are delighted Japan has agreed to extend our long and fruitful collaboration aboard the International Space Station through at least 2024”.
The Progress cargo ship filled with food and supplies launched from Kazakhstan about four hours before the spacewalk began.
This spacewalk was the seventh one this year, but operated under significantly less planning than normal.
British astronaut Tim Peake has sent a Christmas message from on board the International Space Station.
Once the problem was fixed, Kelly and Kopra turned their sights to other housekeeping tasks outside of the ISS.
Nigel Peake said that they will have a cardboard cut-out of their son at the Christmas table.

Mr Peake said on Twitter it was not meant to be a “prank call”.
