Progress docks manually with ISS

Progress M01-M docking (NASA) A Progress cargo spacecraft docked with the International Space Station early Sunday under manual control. The Progress M-01M spacecraft (designated Progress 31 by NASA) docked with the Pirs airlock module of the ISS at 7:28 am EST (1228 GMT) Sunday, four days after launch from Baikonur. The docking was carried out using a backup manual control system after one of two antennas used by the Progress's Kurs automated system failed to deploy properly after launch. Although that antenna was commanded to deploy a few hours after launch, Russian mission controllers opted to proceed with the manual docking, which took place without incident. The spacecraft is carrying about 2.5 tons of food, water, propellant, and other supplies for the station's crew.
