MIRNEWS.388                                  7  OCTOBER 1997
Progress-M35: The undocking of this freighter failed on 6.10 at 1124UTC.  
Cause was a human error: the crew had forgott en to remove a clamp from the 
docking mechanism (the Russian word is 'styazhka', a clamp or spanner to 
tighten the dock ing). The Russians decided to postpone the undocking until 
7.10.
On 7.10.1997 at 12.03.47UTC Pr-M35 separated from MIR and after a short 
period in which Pr-M35 hovered at a distance of
 10 Meters Pr-M35 moved away for a short autonomous flight.  The decay in the 
atmosphere over a designated area in the Pacific East of New Zealand  will 
take place at 1734UTC. 
Progress-M36: The docking of this freighter at MIR has been put back until 
8.10.1997 at 1713UTC.
