Russian Progress Cargo Ship Launched To ISS

A Progress on the Pad

 Moscow (AFP) Jun 17, 2005
 A Progress cargo ship carrying supplies for the International Space Station (ISS) blasted off successfully Friday from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazhakstan, the Russian space agency said.

The unmanned Progress M-53 vessel is carrying more than two and a half tonnes of supplies, mainly water, food and fuel, as well as packages from home for Russian cosmonaut Sergei Krikalyov and US astronaut John Phillips.

The cargo also included audio tapes with nature sounds for the ISS crew, as they "have positive psychological influence on the cosmonauts who have to work in closed space for half a year," chief of the psychological support team of Russia's biomedical problem institute, Olga Kozerenko, said as quoted by the ITAR-TASS news agency.

The Progress would also deliver several popular movies, both classic and new, and a load of snails from Georgia for a series of scientific experiments.

The space ship is due to dock with the orbiting space station Saturday.

 NASA's announcement last week that it will pay Roskosmos $43.6 million for a round-trip ride to the International Space Station this spring, and an equivalent figure for an as-yet-undetermined number of future flights to the station until 2012, represents the agency's acknowledgment that it had no alternative.
