At
the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the unpiloted ISS Progress 64
cargo ship launched at 5:41 p.m. Eastern time July 16 (3:41 a.m.
Baikonur time on July 17), carrying three tons of food, fuel and
supplies for the residents of the International Space Station. Less than
nine minutes after launch, the Progress arrived in its preliminary
orbit to begin a two-day journey to the station, where it will
automatically dock to the Pirs Docking Compartment on the Earth-facing
side of the Russian segment of the outpost July 18, U.S. time. The new
Progress will remain docked to the station until mid-January 2017.
