iss072e742446 (March 1, 2025) --- Roscosmos cosmonauts (from left) Ivan Vagner and Alexey Ovchinin, both Expedition 72 flight engineers, are pictured at the controls of the telerobotically operated rendezvus unit, or TORU, located inside the International Space Station's Zvezda service module. The cosmonauts were monitoring the automated approach and docking of the Progress 91 cargo craft carrying nearly three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the orbital residents. The TORU would be used to remotely control an approaching spacecraft, if necessary, though unlikely.
