A Soyuz rocket launched a new International Space Station module Wednesday. A Soyuz-2.1b rocket lifted off at 8:08 am EST (1308 GMT) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. It deployed the Prichal module, attached to a modified Progress spacecraft, into low Earth orbit nine minutes later. Prichal, a node module, arrived at the station and docked with the Nauka module Friday morning.
