MOSCOW, December 22.
/TASS/.
Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko, who last week manually docked the Soyuz TMA 19M spacecraft to the International Space Station, will receive congratulations from family and friends on his 54th birthday on Tuesday during a communication session with the ISS.
This was reported to TASS in the rocket and space industry.

"In the morning, Yuri Ivanovich was congratulated on his 54th birthday by the staff of the Mission Control Center, cosmonaut Yuri Gidzenko.
In the evening, a private communication session with family and friends is planned, " the agency interlocutor said.
In the evening, the ISS crew members will gather at a festive "table".
"On this special day, the management and employees of the Cosmonaut Training Center, the cosmonaut squad, colleagues in the space industry congratulate Yuri Malenchenko on his birthday and wish him happiness, health, successful flight, timely soft landing, new successes both in conquering space and in earthly affairs," the message published on the website of the Cosmonaut Training Center says.
Malenchenko went on the sixth space flight on the Soyuz TMA 19M spacecraft on December 15, together with American astronaut Kopra and European astronaut Pik.
During the docking to the ISS, there was a failure of the automatic docking system, because of which the commander of the ship had to take the helm in his own hands and perform the docking on the second attempt.

In 1994, Malenchenko saved a manned expedition to the Mir station by manually docking the Progress M 24 cargo ship to it.
150 meters before the station, the ship's rendezvous system was turned off, and there was only enough fuel left for one attempt of manual docking.
Thanks to the precise and precise actions of the cosmonaut, the ship got into the receiving cone of the docking node.
In an unfavorable case, the expedition working at the Mir station was threatened with evacuation.
For Malenchenko, the 54th birthday will not be the first holiday that he celebrated on the ISS.
In 2003, during his third space flight, the cosmonaut got married while in orbit.
His fiancee, Russian American Ekaterina Dmitrieva, was at the Mission Control Center in Houston (Texas) at that time.
On behalf of the groom, the documents were signed by an American lawyer.
In 2007, one of the Ukrainian TV channels organized a TV broadcast with Malenchenko, who was on board the ISS as part of the fourth space flight, where he congratulated the viewers on the upcoming New Year against the background of the Ukrainian flag and, after saying a toast, drank a clear liquid from a bottle.
"Mr. Yuri, is this really a real gorilka?" - the TV presenter asked him.
The cosmonaut did not answer the question.
