Cosmonauts dock Russian Progress cargo ship to ISS

Russian cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) assumed manual control of an approaching cargo ship carrying numerous supplies following a malfunction in its automated rendezvous system.

The unmanned cargo ship, named Progress 86, successfully docked with the ISS’s Russian-built Poisk module under the remote guidance of Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub.

Monitoring its approach from inside the ISS, Kononenko utilized a system called TORU to remotely take control of the cargo ship, Space.com reported.
