Moscow---Russia's space agency said Monday it had managed to restart the engines of the Progress spacecraft and correct the orbit of the International Space Station (ISS) after a failed first attempt.
"On Sunday night, the orbit of the ISS was successfully corrected," Roskosmos told Russian news agencies after an initial attempt to switch on the spacecraft's engines on Friday failed.
