>> INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION STATUS REPORT: SS06-046
>>
>> A shipment of supplies began its journey to the International Space
>> Station Monday as the ISS Progress 23 cargo ship was launched from
>> the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
>> The new resupply ship lifted off at 9:41 a.m. EDT (7:41 p.m. Baikonur
>> time). It will be the 23rd Progress to visit the station. Less than
>> 10 minutes later, the cargo ship reached orbit, and its solar arrays
>> and navigational antennas were deployed for the three-day trip to the
>> orbital outpost.
>>
>> Two pre-programmed firings of the Progress' main engine are scheduled
>> Friday to fine-tune the ship's path to the space station. Additional
>> rendezvous maneuvers are planned over the next three days.
>>
>> Expedition 14 Commander Mike Lopez-Alegria and flight engineers
>> Mikhail Tyurin and Thomas Reiter were flying 220 miles over southern
>> Russia, north of the Mongolian border, when the Progress was
>> launched. Carrying almost 2.5 tons of food, water, fuel, oxygen, air,
>> spare parts and other supplies, the Progress is scheduled to
>> automatically dock to the aft port of the Zvezda Service Module at
>> 10:28 a.m. EDT Thursday. NASA TV coverage of the docking will begin
>> Thursday at 10 a.m. EDT.
>> The ISS Progress 22 craft that arrived in June remains docked to the
>> Pirs Docking Compartment. That Progress will be used to stow trash
>> and supply oxygen to replenish the station's atmosphere when
>> required. The spacecraft won't be discarded until mid-January.
>> For more about the crew's activities and station sighting
>> opportunities, visit:

>> The next station status report will be issued on Thursday, Oct. 26,
>> after the ISS Progress 23 docking, or earlier if events warrant.
