[b]Progress MS-06 launches to space station[/b] Russia's Progress MS-05 (67P) spacecraft lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan Wednesday (June 14) at 4:20 a.m. CDT (0920 GMT; 3:20 p.m. local time) on a two-day trip to the International Space Station. Loaded with 2.7 tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the Expedition 52 crew, the Progress is scheduled to arrive at the aft port of the station's Zvezda service module on Friday (June 16) at 6:42 a.m. CDT (1142 GMT). In addition to its other supplies, Progress MS-06 is also carrying four small satellites to be hand deployed by cosmonauts during a future spacewalk. Built by students in Russia, the "Radioskaf" satellites will broadcast celebratory, recorded radio messages in Russian, English, Chinese and Spanish to mark the 60th anniversary of the space age and the 160th anniversary of the founder of astronautics, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky.
