Russia\u2019s Progress MS-05 supply ship lifted off Wednesday on top of a Soyuz-U rocket, climbing into orbit from a snow-covered launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on the way to the International Space Station.<\/p>\n

The robotic cargo freighter is carrying more than 2.5 tons of dry goods, propellant, water and oxygen to the space station. Docking is scheduled for Friday.<\/p>\n

Liftoff occurred at 11:58:33 a.m. local time at Baikonur (0558:33 GMT; 12:58:33 a.m. EST) Wednesday on the final flight of the Soyuz-U version of Russia\u2019s venerable Soyuz rocket family. Modernized Soyuz configurations are now flying with upgraded engines.<\/p>\n
