Progress 47 on its way to ISS
The
unmanned Progress 47 mission blasted off this morning from its Baikonur
space center in Kazakhstan. The cargo spacecraft carries two and a half
tons of food, fuel and supplies to the ISS. Docking is scheduled for
Sunday.
Meanwhile,
SpaceX and NASA prepare for the expected April 30 launch of the Falcon
rocket with the Dragon spacecraft. This significant launch will see if
SpaceX can maintain its testing schedule, and successfully dock with the
ISS as the first non-government spacecraft to do so.
