Progress docks with space station
Posted: Thu, Aug 23, 2001, 12:21 PM ET (1621 GMT)
An unmanned Progress spacecraft docked with the International Space Station early Thursday, carrying supplies to the orbiting outpost. The spacecraft, variously designated as Progress 5 or Progress M-45, docked at the aft port of the station's Zvezda module at 5:51 am EDT (0951 GMT) Thursday. The Progress is carrying over two tons of supplies and propellant for the station and the three-man Expedition Three crew. The docking came two days after the spacecraft was launched on a Soyuz rocket from Baikonur and one day after the Progress spacecraft that had been attached to the station was undocked and deorbited.
