range errors on Progress approach screens.
Listening to the docking yesterday, I heard several times that the range
given was incorrect, though the data itself being used for the auto approach was right. Sounds like a software problem to me.

I was watching the video feed--the range clearly jumped up unexpectedly. IIRC, it coincided with retraction of an antenna. I also recall that the target cross-hairs didn't look to be aimed at the docking port, but a bit "low"--not sure if that caused the range-finder to pickup on a more "recessed" portion of the station... Then again, I think at time of capture, the range still showed about 10m... They didn't sound too concerned about it, and from what it sounds, they didn't have to take manual control it. |
