MOSCOW (AP) — An unmanned Russian spaceship carrying supplies for the International Space Station has launched from Russia's space complex in Kazakhstan.
The Progress 73 cargo ship blasted off atop a Soyuz rocket at 1210 GMT Wednesday. It is to dock with the ISS about 3 ½ hours later after two orbits.
The Progress is carrying about three tons (2.7 metric tons) of food, fuel and supplies to the space station, which currently has six astronauts aboard.
