... The Progress supply vehicle to the ISS [International Space Station] is an automated version of the Soyuz, and was developed to carry propellant and cargo to the Salyut and Mir space station. It will serve the same purpose for the ISS. Although the ISS has its own propulsion system, generally it is the Progress vehicle that will perform periodic reboost maneuvers to maintain the ISS orbital altitude. The Progress is approximately the same size as the Soyuz, but it has a slightly higher mass at launch of approximately 7150 kg. The Progress spacecraft docks automatically to the ISS, and the TORU [Teleoperated Control System-Manual Docking System on Zarya] system acts as a backup remote control docking system. Progress is composed of three modules : the Cargo Module, the Refueling Module, and the Instrument/Propulsion Module. A modified version of the Progress M, called the Progress M1, is planned for operation with the ISS. This version will have more propellant tanks for refueling, as the entire Refueling Module is devoted to fuel. Water will be carried in the Cargo Module. The Progress payload includes cargo in the pressurized Cargo Module and propellant in the Refueling Module. Excess propellant that is usually in the propulsion system tanks in the Instrumentation/Propulsion Module can also be used by the ISS.

The TORU system [is] a backup teleoperated rendezvous control system.

... the manual docking system aboard the Station ... the TORU system, as it is called, would only be used in the event that the automatic docking of the ISS [International Space Station] to the Zvezda was not successful. This week’s test was designed to verify that the angular rate sensors were reading within specification and that the outside television system was working properly.

OBS

Station’s manual docking system: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

[...] le système d'amarrage manuel à bord de la Station [...] le système TORU, comme on l'appelle, ne servirait que si l'amarrage automatique de l'ISS [International Space Station] à Zvezda ne réussissait pas. L'essai de cette semaine visait à vérifier si les détecteurs de vitesse angulaire fournissaient des données comme prévu dans les spécifications et si le réseau de télévision extérieur fonctionnait correctement.

... the Kurs automated docking system on Zarya controls the docking with Zvezda, which will serve as the passive "target" during the docking. Should the automated docking system fail, Russia would launch two cosmonauts to the station on a Soyuz about 15 days later. The crew would dock with Zvezda and assemble a backup teleoperated rendezvous control system(TORU), that would be used to dock the modules. The crew would return to Earth shortly after the modules were docked.
