Missed the launch this morning but Soyuz MS-04 is currently station keeping with the ISS.

Not something we see too often - today's launch of a Progress resupply craft was scrubbed seconds before main engine ignition -

Hmm, looks like parachute but it doesn't seem to be. There is a hatch that is blown off on descent.
Supplies for ISS is a good shout but they have separate unmanned cargo ships for that.
Having just finished reading the Haynes Soyuz manual I can confirm that is the parachute compartment on the top there, with the reserve chute still in itSupplies for ISS is a good shout but they have separate unmanned cargo ships for that.

It seems the Soyuz return back in April had a problem during descent, with the capsule partially depressurising after part of the parachute attachment hit a weld seam and broke it
