Progress docks with space station
Posted: Sun, Jul 5, 2015, 11:23 AM ET (1523 GMT)
A Progress cargo spacecraft docked with the International Space Station early Sunday, two days after launch. The Progress M-28M spacecraft docked with the Pirs module of the ISS at 3:11 am EDT (0711 GMT), a little more than two days after launch from Kazakhstan. The spacecraft was carrying more than 2,750 kilograms of supplies, water, and propellant for the station. The successful docking eases concerns about ISS supply lines after the failures of the previous Progress mission in April and a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft one week ago.
