Loaded with three tons of food, fuel and supplies for the Expedition 47 crew, the Progress is scheduled to autonomously dock to the rear port of the Zvezda service module on Saturday (April 2) at about 1:00 p.m. CDT (1800 GMT).

The Progress is packed with 3,126 pounds of cargo, including rations, sanitary napkins and waste containers and medical equipment. The ship is also delivering 926 pounds of water and 103 pounds of oxygen to the orbiting outpost.

Progress MS-02 will spend six months at the station before departing in October for its deorbit into Earth's atmosphere.

Expedition 47 crew members witnessed the Progress MS-02 launch from orbit.

From Tim Peake:
So cool to watch Progress ride into orbit today... right beneath us! Docking Saturday night to ISS.
From Tim Kopra:
Amazing to watch Progress 63P launch from Baikonur, Kazakhstan — supplies to ISS.

From Tim Kopra:
Progress 63P flying (way) over a city in western Asia.
