ISS Cosmonauts just checked in with Moscow who reported one solar array did NOT deploy (plane 4?) but the 4 orbit rendezvous is still a go.

SFN twitter feed is reporting NASA confirmation of the non deployment

Plane 4 is one of the segments of the solar arrays. I believe that is the most outboard segment.

Moscow confirmed plane 4 did not deploy. Requesting multiple photos of that array during approach.

There are two solar arrays on Soyuz spacecraft: one on the starboard side (plane 2) and one - on the port side (plane 4).

So the different planes refer to the different sides of the spacecraft and not the segments of the solar arrays?

And not the first time this has happened, TMA-14M also had the same issue until it docked and the force of the contact knocked free the stuck array:

Going back further in history, Soyuz-1 and Soyuz T-9 failed to deploy one of their solar arrays in 1967 and 1983 (they remained stuck throughout the mission). This would appear to be the fourth such malfunction in Soyuz history.

Was anything more said of the battery problem? They were rushing that conversation before LOS.

I suppose we will see soon enough when Soyuz gets close to the station.
