The space cargo ship Progress went into orbit, according to MCC. The first launch of the truck after the accident in April, successfully passed at Baikonur this morning.
This time, “Roskosmos” decided to use the launch vehicle Soyuz-U, after the April setbacks for additional verification suspended operation of the new model launch – Union -2 – 1-a. Docking is scheduled for Sunday. The first telemetry received from the ship at the Baikonur East – there earned command and measuring point. Progress carries everything that nedoletelo its predecessor –
fuel, air, food, special equipment and parcels for the crew. However, the resources of the astronauts were sent to more than 100 kilograms – last week they lived in savings. The last attempt to send rations to the ISS on June 28 failed. Then two minutes after launch from Cape Canaveral rocket exploded “Falcon 9″ space truck “Dragon.” The reasons are not yet known.
