Mir uses manual docking to secure space station cargo
In Moscow, Mir commander Talgat Musabayev manually docked the Progress M-38 with the Mir after the autopilot failed a minute from docking. Ground control cited unclear reasons for the failure, following a prior near collision during practice. In Cairo, a sandstorm stranded hundreds at airports as the Suez Canal paused operations, while a Beirut Ferris wheel withstood the wind.
