AFP, Moscow :
An unmanned Russian cargo ship successfully docked with the International Space Station on Sunday following a string of failed attempts to resupply the orbital laboratory.
“The transport cargo ship Progress M-28M has docked with the… Russian segment of the ISS at 10:11am Moscow time (0711GMT),” the Russian federal space agency (Roscosmos) said in a statement.
The ship is carrying more than 2,300 kilos of oxygen, fuel, food, and scientific equipment, as well as personal packages for the international crew of three.
Russian cosmonauts Gennady Padalka and Mikhail Kornienko and US astronaut Scott Kelly are part of the Expedition 44 currently in space, to be joined by three more people later this month.
Commander Padalka is scheduled to return to Earth in November while Kornienko and Kelly are part of a year-long mission which will not go home until March next year.
