A Progress cargo spacecraft docked with the International Space Station Thursday evening, six hours after its launch from Kazakhstan. A Soyuz rocket carrying the Progress M-29M spacecraft lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 12:49 pm EDT (1649 GMT), placing the spacecraft into orbit nine minutes later. The Progress docked with the station's Zvezda module at 6:52 pm EDT (2252 GMT) after completing a four-orbit rendezvous trajectory. The Progress carried nearly 2,900 kilograms of cargo for the station, including food, water, propellant, and other supplies.
