Description: Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe The un-crewed Soyuz MS-14 spacecraft which failed to dock with the International Space Station on Saturday is expected to make another attempt on Tuesday, August 27. The spaceship was scheduled to dock with the station’s Poisk module at 5:30 GMT, but encountered an issue with the Kurs automated docking system on the ISS. It was not a problem with the Soyuz spacecraft itself, according to NASA. Russian cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Alexander Skvortsov are expected to replace a signal amplifier unit in the Kurs system over the weekend. The aircraft carries the Russian humanoid robot Skybot F-850, which was created to be a replacement for humans in everything from rescue work to driving vehicles. The robot is equipped with AI used on the mission to monitor and report on conditions during the flight.
