Posted: Thu, Oct 30, 2014, 9:56 AM ET (1356 GMT)
A Soyuz rocket launched a Progress cargo spacecraft early Wednesday that docked with the International Space Station several hours later. A Soyuz-2.1a rocket lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 3:09 am EDT (0709 GMT) Wednesday carrying the Progress M-25M spacecraft. That spacecraft, making a fast four-orbit approach, docked with the station's Pirs module at 9:08 am EDT (1308 GMT). The spacecraft carried more than 2,600 kilograms of supplies for the ISS. The launch was the first time the newer Soyuz-2 rocket was used for a Progress launch, which allows for additional cargo to be carried to the station.
