Russian supply craft docks with space station


(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) A Russian supply craft successfully docked with the International Space Station on Sunday following the recent failure of two other launches, dpa reported.

The unmanned Progress craft and its haul of 2.5 metric tons of fuel,
oxygen, food, water and other supplies arrived around 0700 GMT,
Russia's space agency Roscosmos said in a statement.

The cargo had been anxiously awaited after two previous launches of
supply ships to the space station - in April by the Russians and just
days ago by the Americans - failed.

A Japanese cargo craft is also due to launch next month to bring
further supplies to the space station's three crew members - Russians
Gennady Padalka and Mikhail Kornienko and American Scott Kelly.
