Cargo spacecraft ISS docking rescheduled for Sunday

The Progress M-06M cargo spacecraft, which failed to dock with the ISS on Friday due to a docking system failure, will resume docking activities on Sunday, a deputy chief of the Russian Federal Space Agency said, RIA Novosti reported.

The space freighter flew past the station and is now orbiting Earth.

"The docking is tentatively scheduled for Sunday. The docking will be carried out in the automated mode," Vitaly Davydov said.

The spacecraft was some 2 km from the station when the system received a signal to stop approaching the ISS.

"It was not an uncontrolled movement," he said.
