Posted: Sat, Jul 25, 2009, 7:33 AM ET (1133 GMT)
Russia launched a Progress spacecraft to the International Space Station on Friday, although the spacecraft will take longer than usual to dock with the station. The Soyuz rocket lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 6:56 am EDT (1056 GMT) Friday and placed the Progress M-67 spacecraft into orbit. The spacecraft, carrying two and a half tons of food, water, and other supplies, will not dock with the ISS until Wednesday, after the shuttle Endeavour, currently at the station, departs.
