TL;DR

The Progress 94 cargo spacecraft failed to deploy two automated rendezvous antennas on its way to the ISS, jeopardizing its planned autonomous docking. Roscosmos is troubleshooting, and if unresolved a cosmonaut aboard the ISS (Sergey Kud-Sverchkov) could manually dock the spacecraft using TORU. The uncrewed ship carries about 3 tons of supplies and is scheduled to dock on Tuesday, with NASA providing a live stream of the rendezvous.
