How an unpiloted cargo ship mastered automated docking in orbit
In short: Watch the successful re-docking of a Russian Progress cargo ship to the International Space Station's Zvezda Service Module, following a critical two-day test of upgraded rendezvous hardware.
The video captures the rendezvous and docking of the Progress 96 cargo craft. This mission served as a vital trial for an upgraded Kurs rendezvous system, which has successfully completed a two-day test period. This hardware is slated for integration into future Progress cargo vehicles currently under development.
