Shuttle Landing: Beautiful; Progress Docking: Last-Minute Excitement

Sunday was a busy day for human spaceflight, as space shuttle Endeavour landed safely at Edwards Air Force Base in California, and a Progress re-supply ship docked at the International Space Station. While the shuttle landing went off without a hitch, problems developed with an automated docking system for the Progress ship, forcing a last-minute switch to a manual docking, performed by Russian cosmonaut Yuri Lonchakov. A series of problems including the loss of frequency information and unexpected toggling of the automatic system's tracking displays occurred, Russian news agencies reported. But Lonchakov, who was already at the manual controls as a precaution, took over from the automated system when the Progress was about 30 meters (98 feet) from the station and guided it flawlessly to the docking port within a few minutes.

Failed systems prompted manual docking of cargo spacecraft to ISS -Mission Control Center (Part 2)

KOROLYOV, Moscow region. Nov 30 (Interfax-AVN) - Failed systems of the first 'digital' Progress M-01M cargo spacecraft prompted its manual docking to the International Space Station (ISS), Vladimir Solovyov, Russian Mission Control Center's Flight Director for the ISS, told journalists. "A number of problems with automatic approach emerged at the final stage of the docking," Solovyov said. "Frequency information was lost and the Kurs (Course) system trackers were toggling," he said. "As a result we brought the spacecraft 30 meters from the ISS and ordered the crew to switch to the manual control of the spacecraft," he said. Mission Control Center experts will study reasons behind the failures, he said, acknowledging that this was not the first failure aboard the cargo spacecraft.
