From Times Wire Reports
Officials reported that the battered Mir space station successfully docked with a cargo ship hauling more than two tons of badly needed supplies and custom-made parts required to bring the spacecraft back to full power. The docking 250 miles above Earth was done on automatic pilot, in contrast to the June 25 docking in which a supply ship punctured a hole in Mir’s Spektr research module. Since then, Mir has been running on reduced power.
