Russian cargo spaceship docks with ISS

A Russian cargo spaceship successfully docked with the International Space Station today, said the Mission Control Center outside Moscow.

The Progress M-04M hooked up with the Zvezda service module in automatic mode at 7:26 am Moscow time (0426 GMT), said the center.

The vessel was delivering 2.5 tons of food, water, fuel and scientific equipment to astronauts on board the ISS.

The spacecraft hurtled in space for two days after blasting off early Wednesday from the Baikonur cosmodrome in northern Kazakhstan atop a Soyuz carrier rocket.
