Russian cosmonauts on the International Space Station (ISS) manually docked the Russian Progress cargo ship, Progress 86, after its automated rendezvous system experienced a glitch. Using a remote control system called TORU, cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko took control of the cargo ship and successfully docked it with the ISS. The cargo ship was carrying 5,600 pounds of supplies for the crewmembers on the station.
