Resupply Rocket Launches on Two-Day Delivery Mission

Soyuz-U successfully sends Progress MS spacecraft en route to ISS



"At the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the unpiloted ISS Progress 64 cargo ship launched at 5:41 p.m. Eastern time July 16 (3:41 a.m. Baikonur time on July 17), carrying three tons of food, fuel and supplies for the residents of the International Space Station. Less than nine minutes after launch, the Progress arrived in its preliminary orbit to begin a two-day journey to the station, where it will automatically dock to the Pirs Docking Compartment on the Earth-facing side of the Russian segment of the outpost July 18, U.S. time. The new Progress will remain docked to the station until mid-January 2017."

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel.   They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life.   I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at.  You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do!  I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them.  SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest.  I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
