An earlier docking attempt was aborted on 2 July 2010 when communication between the cargo craft and the space station was lost about 25 minutes before its planned docking.
The cause of the abort has been traced to the activation of the TORU “Klest” TV transmitter, and it has not been activated for the present docking process.
Progress 38 is the 40th cargo vehicle to reach the station.
