The Russian Progress M-59\/24P re-supply ship \u2013 which launched successfully from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan in the early hours of Thursday, has docked with the International Space Station (ISS).\n<\/p>\n

The Progress \u2013 which launched on top of a Soyuz-U launch vehicle \u2013 is carrying several tons of fuel, food and cargo, and docked without issue at 9:59pm EDT.\n<\/p>\n

\"\"The launch vehicle also had a very special passenger during ascent, with a portrait dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of rocket designer and Russian hero Sergey Pavlovich Korolyov, painted on to the side of the payload faring. <\/font><\/p>\n

On board the Progress is 3,300 lbs of cargo, including food and equipment, 1,7000lbs of station reboosting propellant and 100lbs of oxygen. Progress is a vital support line for the ISS, even through the US Space Shuttle program has finally returned to regular launch operations. <\/font><\/p>\n

To make way for the upcoming arrival, Progress M-57\/22P undocked Wednesday night on schedule (6:29pm EDT) when the latches were unhooked and a 1-mm separation was completed.<\/font><\/p>\n

The separation burn occurred at 6:32pm, and the vehicle completed the deorbit burn to re-enter the earth\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s atmosphere at 9:31pm. With the completion of the undocking activities, the DC1 was freed for Progress M-59\/24P, and the ISS maneuvered (under Russian Segment motion control) to +XVV TEA (+X-axis into the Velocity Vector\/Torque Equilibrium Attitude). <\/p>\n

After orbit insertion, Progress unfolded two solar arrays, four Kurs antennas, one TORU\/Rassvet-M antenna and one telemetry antenna.  Later, the docking probe (SSh) was extended, followed by a 6-min long self-test of both subsets of the Kurs-A MCS (motion control system) including the Klest TV system.  <\/font><\/p>\n

Two orbit adjustment burns of 5 min duration each were executed, DV1 at ~1:10am EST and DV2 at ~1:40am, both with the SKD main engine.  After the two-day \u2018chaser\u2019 flight, 24P docked at the DC1 port of the ISS. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s already been a busy time for new ISS expedition member Suni Williams, as she helped participate in the OGS (Oxygen Generation System) installation, which was a long, highly complicated procedure that took the better part of four days at the start of the year. <\/font><\/p>\n

The OGS is one of the three Regenerative ELCSS system racks slated to be installed in Node 3, and critical to support six-person ISS crew operations. <\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>In tandem with the readying of the ISS for an increased crew compliment, the European re-supply ship, the ATV (Automated Transfer Vehicle) Jules Verne will make its debut launch on top of an Ariane 5 on July 25.
