Robert Pearlman | According to NASA, via Twitter: One solar array did not deploy properly once Soyuz reached orbit. Crew still headed to ISS. Docking set for tonight at 10:15 p.m. EDT. |
Robert Pearlman | Despite the stuck array, Soyuz TMA-14M arrived at the International Space Station to dock to the Poisk module at 9:11 p.m. CDT. |
Hart Sastrowardoyo | This would have been the perfect expedition for the "Don't panic!" emblem...

Robert Pearlman | Shortly after the docking, the port-side solar array deployed on Soyuz TMA-14M. |

Oh no, not again!By the way, despite the new Italian cappuccino machine, no word as to whether a decent cup of tea can be had on the ISS. |
Robert Pearlman | Expedition 41 flight engineer Reid Wiseman via Twitter: Awesome view of the Soyuz with only one array deployed. Flown by the best! |
Robert Pearlman | Soyuz TMA-14M landed in Kazakhstan tonight (March 11) at about 9:07 p.m. CST (0207 GMT March 12). Butch Wilmore, Alexander Samokutyaev and Elena Serova are safely home! |

OV3Discovery | That is quite a large parachute placed into a relatively small Soyuz spacecraft, does anyone know what the thickness of the parachute is?
