Following a 34-orbit rendezvous, the Progress will dock to the aft port of the Zvezda service module of the space station on Thursday (Feb. 15) at 5:43 a.m EST (1043 GMT).

Progress MS-08 is delivering 3,000 pounds (1,390 kilograms) of crew supplies and science research equipment; 1,400 pounds (640 kg) of propellant; 925 pounds (420 kg) of water; and 100 pounds (46 kg) of compressed air and oxygen for the space station.

The spacecraft will remain at the orbiting lab through late August.
