After unfurling its solar arrays and navigation antennas, the Progress kicked off a series of thruster firings to match its orbit with that of the International Space Station, gliding to a radar-guided link-up with the station\u2019s Pirs docking compartment at 0131 GMT Tuesday (9:31 p.m. EDT Monday).<\/p>\n<p>Cosmonauts Oleg Artemyev and Sergey Prokopyev opened hatches to the Progress supply carrier to begin unpacking the cargo inside its pressurized cabin.
