Progress docks with ISS after hurricane delay
Posted: Thu, Sep 18, 2008, 7:44 AM ET (1144 GMT)
A Russian Progress cargo spacecraft docked with the International Space Station on Wednesday after a five-day delay caused by Hurricane Ike. The Progress M-65 spacecraft docked with the aft port of the Zvezda service module at 2:43 pm EDT (1843 GMT) Wednesday. The docking had been scheduled for Friday, two days after a Soyuz rocket launched the spacecraft, but the closure of the ISS mission control in Houston because of Hurricane Ike caused the postponement. A backup mission control at the Marshall Space Flight Center remains in operation.
