 After a successful launch Monday morning from Kazakhstan, the Progress 23 cargo craft is on track for a Thursday docking with the International Space Station at 10:28 a.m. EDT. The unpiloted cargo carrier is carrying supplies, equipment, propellant and oxygen.

Though the Progress 23 is programmed for an automatic docking, Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin is prepared to manually dock the cargo carrier in the unlikely event it should be necessary.

Meanwhile, Expedition 14 continues maintenance activities, science experiments and its daily exercise routine.
