Russian Cargo Craft Sets Sail for the International Space Station

The unpiloted Russian ISS Progress 66 cargo craft launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan Feb. 22 atop a Soyuz booster on a two-day journey to deliver almost three tons of food, fuel and supplies for the residents of the International Space Station. The vehicle is scheduled to automatically dock to the Pirs Docking Compartment on the Russian segment of the complex Feb. 24. It was the first launch of a Progress resupply craft to the station since a launch failure last Dec. 1 resulted in the loss of the ISS Progress 65 ship.
