Cargo ship overcomes glitch to dock at space station

An unmanned Russian cargo ship fully docked at the international space station today, after Mission Control solved a problem that had prevented the spacecraft from latching firmly onto the space outpost.

The Progress M-58 cargo ship, carrying supplies to the station’s three-man crew, docked at the station at 6.28pm Moscow time (3.28 Irish time) on autopilot, as planned.
