An unmanned Russian cargo ship docked at the International Space Station Wednesday with a load of supplies.
The Progress MS-16 cargo ship, which blasted off Monday from the Russia-leased Baikonur launch facility in Kazakhstan, has delivered water, propellant and other supplies to the orbiting outpost.
The station's crew guided the ship to moor at the station in manual mode at 0627 GMT (local time) following a last-minute glitch in the automated docking system.
The space station is now operated by NASA's Kate Rubins, Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker; Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Soichi Noguchi; and Russian Space Agency Roscosmos' Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov.
