> The Soyuz MS-14 was scheduled to dock with the ISS Poisk module at 05:30 UTC on 24 August
> 2019. During the final phases of the spacecraft's approach to the ISS,
> its Kurs rendezvous system failed to lock onto the station
> and the spacecraft was not able to dock. Expedition 60 commander Aleksey
> Ovchinin commanded MS-14 to abort its docking, after which the spacecraft backed away to a safe distance from the ISS. Whereas
> most unmanned Russian spacecraft flying to ISS
> also feature a TORU backup system enabling cosmonauts to take manual
> control of the spacecraft from the ISS, this system was not fitted to MS-14. The fault was located on the Kurs signal amplifier on ISS's _Poisk_ docking module, and initial plans called
> for the cosmonauts to replace this amplifier ahead of a new docking attempt. It was subsequently decided that, on 26 August, the crew of Soyuz MS-13 would relocate their spacecraft from the aft port on the Zvezda module to perform a manual docking
> at the faulty _Poisk_ port, freeing up a port for MS-14 to dock using Kurs on 27 August 2019.
