Crewmembers of the International Space Station have successfully shifted a Russian spacecraft to the Rassvet research module to make way for a space freighter.
The Soyuz TMA-19 spacecraft, which was docked to the Zvezda module, was shifted following a 90-minute delay due to problems with the electric drive on a section of solar panels at the station, according to RIA Novosti.

Nasa awarded $50m to the Russian Energia Corporation to make the upgrades to allow taller crewmembers to fly the Soyuz and increase docking procedure safety.
The shift will make room for the Russian Progress M-06M space freighter that will reach the station on 2 July 2010.
