  Thanks for that, converting time-zones is a huge pain.

  So it did already happen? Or there are more of them, or what? Because from what I hear it still sounds like they are preparing for it.

    See elsewhere, but ... They've done the correction burn to put them in the same orbit, but 2.4 lower than the ISS. They will undertake in an hour or so from now, passing between the ISS and the Earth. When some distance ahead they will burn again and rise into a slower orbit and let the ISS undertake them, thus dropping behind. Finally, they will go back down to a holding point, and wait till tomorrow while they check all the data. Tomorrow they do a similarly detailed set of moves, ending up a hundred metres away, when they will be captured by the robotic arm, and docked.

      Thank you. The countdown confused me as it was countdown to something else as the flyby, which is happening now.
