Resupply Craft Docking Aborted
Mission controllers will not re-attempt to dock the ISS Progress 38 resupply ship to the International Space Station today. The station is being reconfigured for normal operations. The flight control team is in the early stages of diagnosing what may have caused the aborted docking with the space station.
Future docking opportunities are being evaluated. The Progress vehicle is in a safe configuration well away from the space station. The crew was never in any danger.
