    From CBS Space News:
    
    Russian engineers must resolve a problem that cut short a space station 
    rocket firing today about three minutes into a planned 18-minute 22-second 
    burn. The rocket firing, using engines in the Progress-23 supply ship 
    docked to the aft of the Russian Zvezda command module, is required to 
    adjust the station's orbit, permitting the shuttle to dock on the third 
    day of its 12-day mission. The next opportunity to complete the 
    interrupted reboost maneuver is Friday.
