Russia\u2019s Progress 71 cargo craft blasts off on time to the International Space Station for a Sunday delivery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Carrying almost three tons of food, fuel and supplies for the International Space Station crew, the unpiloted Russian Progress 71 cargo spacecraft launched at 1:14 p.m. EST (12:14 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 17, Baikonur) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n

At the time of launch, the International Space Station was flying about 252 statute miles over southern Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n

The resupply ship reached preliminary orbit and deployed its solar arrays and navigational antennas as planned. The Russian cargo craft will make 34 orbits of Earth before docking to the orbiting laboratory at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 18. NASA Television coverage of rendezvous and docking will begin at 1:45 p.m.<\/p>\n

Progress 71 will remain docked at the station for more than four months before departing in March for its deorbit in Earth\u2019s atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Crew aboard the space station are scheduled to receive two cargo resupply missions in the coming days. Tomorrow, launch of Northrop Grumman\u2019s Antares rocket with Cygnus cargo spacecraft bound for the International Space Station is targeted for 4:01 a.m. from\u00a0Pad 0A of Virginia Space\u2019s Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport, located at NASA\u2019s Wallops Flight Facility on Virginia\u2019s Eastern Shore. NASA TV will provide launch broadcast coverage\u00a0online<\/a>\u00a0beginning at 3:30 a.m. A Cygnus launch Saturday would result in capture and berthing on Monday, Nov. 19.<\/p>\n
