There was high drama at the International Space Station last night when
Progress M1-4 failed to dock in the first automatic and manual attempts.
Gidzenko was eventually able to dock the Progress using the TORU system, but
with the station out of radio contact it made for some tense moments.

We have posted a full story and a QuickTime video of the Progress' failed
automatic approach and the switch to a manual docking:
