And there's the telemetry, with just KURS info outstanding.

There's a MCC-M controller doing some serious pacing at the front.

ISS crew informed that a 34 orbit 2 day backup rendezvous is going to be used, due to Kurs antenna deploy issue.

The issue is that Moscow has not yet been able to confirm that the Kurs antennas have deployed, due to intermittent telemetry. Deployment should have been done a few seconds after spacecraft separation. The two day rendezvous will allow them time to obtain confirmation and troubleshoot any problems if there are any.

According to Interfax (Source) http://www.interfax.ru/russia/438942:

Lack of telemetry from Progress. Some quick google translate:

"The ship is in sight, but the telemetry information from it does not arrive. Experts find out why," - said the agency source in the space industry.

At the same time, experts Mission Control Center "Interfax" that the spacecraft did not open exchange antenna.

"Solar opened normally, but did not open exchange antenna. Because of this, most likely, the Earth is not received telemetry," - said the official.
