The ISS Progress 47 resupply ship arrived at the station in April and undocked from the Pirs docking compartment July 22 It made its first attempt to re-dock the following day A technical problem prevented the spacecraft from reaching the space station, and its computers placed it a safe distance from the orbiting laboratory Russian engineers are testing a new automated rendezvous system, called Kurs-NA, for possible use on future Russian spacecraft arriving at the station
