Soyuz spacecraft with FEDOR robot failed to dock with ISS

It is noted that the docking should have been automatic.

Soyuz MS-14 approached the ISS at a distance of 100 meters, flown over the station and stood in front of the berth module, but then began to depart from the station to a distance of 300 meters.

According to TASS, rocket and space industry experts began a meeting in connection with the failed docking of the ship.

The question of a repeated docking attempt is being resolved.

On August 22, the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle with the Soyuz MS-14 launched to the ISS from the Baikonur Cosmodrome.

A source in the space rocket industry named the four main tasks of FEDOR on the ISS.
