A Soyuz rocket launched a Progress spacecraft late Wednesday carrying cargo for the International Space Station. The Soyuz lifted off at 3:50 pm EDT (1950 GMT) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and placed the Progress M-65 spacecraft into orbit nine minutes later. The Progress is scheduled to dock with the ISS on Friday. The Progress is carrying two and a half tons of food, water, propellant, and other supplies for the station and its three-man crew.
