PROGRESS cargo freighter |
|
The progress freighter was loaded
with 4,812 pounds of equipment and supplies, including 2,784 pounds of
spare parts, repair gear, life support and other hardware. After docking, Russian ISS flight
controllers could not confirm that an antenna used to aid the Progress
23's automated KURS navigation system was fully retracted before
docking at the ISS. They decided to delay driving a
series of hooks and latches--used to secure the Progress to its
Zvezda docking port--until they resolved the antenna issue. After more than three hours of
scrutiny, flight controllers commanded hooks and latches on the Zvezda
side of the docked spacecraft to close on Progress M-58. |
