T' ISS Progress 38 cargo resupply ship successfully docked t' t' aft end o' t' International Space Station's Zvezda service module at 9:17 am PDT Sunday. T' dockin' was executed flawlessly by Progress' Kurs automated rendezvous system. It launched from t' Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on June 30. Blimey! An attempted dockin' Friday, ya bilge rat, July 2, ya bilge rat, was aborted when telemetry betwixt t' Progress and t' space station was lost about 25 minutes before its planned docking. T' most likely cause o' Friday's aborted dockin' was traced t' t' activation o' t' TORU 'Klest' TV transmitter, ya bilge rat, which created interference with TORU itself, me bucko, causin' a loss o' t' TORU command link betwixt Progress and t' International Space Station that triggered t' abort o' t' Progress docking. Ahoy! TORU be nay activated for today's docking. Well, blow me down! T' TORU TV system is designed t' provide a view o' Zvezda's dockin' target t' station Commander Alexander Skvorstov, me hearties, if he had t' operate a joystick in t' service module t' dock Progress manually.
