Russian Supply Capsule Misses International Space Station

An unmanned Russian space capsule carrying supplies to the International Space Station failed in a docking attempt. As a result, NASA says the Progress vehicle continued on its trajectory and glided safely past the space station.

At the time of the communication loss, the vehicle was approximately 3 km from the station. The unexpected cancellation was related to the KURS automated docking system. Russian ground teams are still analyzing data.

The ground team will attempt another docking on July 4.
