Russian cargo craft launches to station

Carrying more than 5,700 pounds (2,585 kilograms) of food, fuel, and supplies for the International Space Station crew, Russia's Progress M-25M cargo craft launched at 2:09 a.m. CDT (0709 GMT; 1:09 p.m. local time) on Wednesday (Oct. 29) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

At the time of the launch, the International Space Station was flying about 261 miles (420 kilometers) over southern Russia, just north of the border with Kazakhstan.

Less than 10 minutes after liftoff, the ship reached its preliminary orbit and deployed its solar arrays and navigational antennas as planned. The Russian cargo craft will make four orbits of Earth during the next six hours before docking to the orbiting laboratory at 8:09 a.m. CDT (1309 GMT).
