ISS preceded by russian craft?

[MarkF]

Just saw the ISS go overhead, just a chance sighting as I was locking up, called the wife out, she was obviously very pleased to be dragged away from her recorded episode of neighbours. I did see another light in the same orbit about two hands width in front of the ISS, same mag as a satellite was wondering if that was the reported Russian craft that missed the docking, it was definitely in the same orbit.

Wow it was pretty bright tonight travelling West to east.

[MarkF]

Yep pretty sure it was that Russian cargo ship

BBC News - Russian cargo ship 'under control' official says

[Dangerous-Dave]

Yep it was indeed. Cloudy here sadly.

Oh so that's what it was...visible even in Cumbria, i popped out to see if it was worth setting up last night and saw it very bright through the light cloud. Assumed it was the ISS thanks for the confirmation folks.
