This contingency validates the decision to wait for the launch of the crew so 
the TORU backup was available. This was the first automatic docking to the 
FGB nadir port, and there were some tricky KURS control "handovers" during 
the process that worried, justifiably, the planners. Their instincts -- and 
the skill of the flight crew -- were right on target. Well done to all!!
