Unmanned Cargo Spacecraft Docks at the International Space Station

VOA News

   An unmanned cargo spacecraft with food, fuel and supplies docked at the
   International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday.

   Russian Progress 75 cargo ship left the Baikonur Cosmodrom in
   Kazakhstan, a few minutes before 1 a.m. GMT and transported almost 3
   tons of food and other supplies to the ISS.

   Scientists and staff, both in Baikonur and at Johnson Space Center in
   Houston, Texas, monitored the three-hour journey and the docking.

   The cargo ship is set to remain at the station until December, when it
   will leave and burn up in Earth's atmosphere.
