Zhang Zhiguang extended the mechanical arm almost to its maximum length, occasionally glancing at his left arm, confirming the distance through the camera and sensors on the claw.
He decided to grab somewhere on the orbital module, as the re-entry capsule was too smooth and probably couldn't be clamped onto.
The Union TMA-17M was still rotating, and Oleg had already seen the claw almost touching the spacecraft, continuously reporting the distance and his suggestions to Commander Li Sheng.
"03! Be ready to make full adjustments with the RCS!"
When the mechanical arm grabbed onto the orbital module, the momentum of the rotation would inevitably cause the Unity to roll irregularly, which would require the RCS to make desperate adjustments to prevent the spacecraft from losing stability.
Zhang Zhiguang secured himself and the Unity a bit more firmly, then gently pushed the joystick to tighten the claw.
