TORU (teleoperator control system) is a manual mode system through which a crewmember, located in the Service Module, performs necessary guidance functions in the event of a failure of the automated Kurs rendezvous/docking system of a Progress cargo vehicle (TGK). In this case, the ship’s motion will be manually controlled from the TORU control panel, using two hand controllers and a situational display of television signals (ISS) [International Space Station] image plus range, velocity, and relative angular position data from a Progress-mounted Klest-M video camera, shown on two monitors (VKU and Simvol-Ts). 8, record 1, English, - TORU%20docking%20system
