Roundup As NASA nervously eyed Hurricane Dorian, Roscosmos finally persuaded Soyuz MS-14 to dock with the ISS and India's Chandrayaan-2 enjoyed an amicable separation above the Moon.

Following a sequence of successful manoeuvres in Lunar orbit, India's Vikram lander earlier today separated from the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter ahead of descending to the Moon's surface.
