True, the docking failed the first time due to the failure of the automatic docking system. As a result, it had to be done manually. The Roscosmos Media correspondent said that the spacecraft approached the ISS, but at the last moment flew away from the station and started the docking procedure again, but in manual mode. As a result, the ship successfully docked to the Dawn module.

Actress Yulia Peresild and director Klim Shipenko arrived on the ISS. They will be filming the space station for a movie tentatively titled Challenge. The film crew will spend 12 days on the ISS, during which they need to shoot material for 40 minutes of screen time. And this will be the first filming in space.

Interestingly, back in May 2020, it became known that the first filming in space would be carried out with Tom Cruise. Then the Russian project was not announced yet. However, in the end, it was the Russian film crew that became the first of its kind on the ISS.
