Resupply vessel fails to dock with space station

The Progress cargo vessel, a resupply craft, was trying to dock with the space station when a technical problem occurred about 20 minutes before the scheduled docking time, said Lynette Madison, the spokeswoman.

The vessel flew about two miles past the space station.

Six people aboard the space station -- three Americans and three Russians -- are not in danger, Madison said.
