[b]Progress M-29M launches for space station[/b] Russia's Progress M-29M (61P) resupply spacecraft launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 11:49 a.m. CDT (1649 GMT; 10:49 p.m. Baikonur time) on a fast-track, four-orbit flight to the International Space Station. Loaded with more than three tons of food, fuel and supplies for the Expedition 45 crew, the Progress is scheduled to autonomously dock to the rear port of the Zvezda service module about six hours after launch at 5:54 p.m. CDT (2254 GMT). The Progress is packed with 3,397 pounds of dry cargo, including Russian food rations, sanitary napkins and waste containers, medical equipment, water purification hardware and electronics. The craft is also delivering 2,041 pounds of water and 242 pounds of oxygen to replenish the atmosphere inside the orbiting outpost. The Progress will spend two months at the space station before departing on (or about) Dec. 9 for its deorbit into Earth's atmosphere.
