Progress Docks At ISS

Just In Time For New Crew To Arrive

When traveling great distances, most guides recommend sending your luggage off ahead of time. That holds true whether it on the sea, in the air -- or in orbit.

Saturday morning, an unmanned Progress M-54 cargo ship successfully docked with the International Space Station, bringing supplies such as fuel, food, and water to the station weeks before the expected arrival of a fresh crew.

That meant the current Expedition 11 residents of the station, Russian cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev and US astronaut John Phillips, has to unpack the nearly 2.8 tons of supplies for them.

The current crew is in its last month on the station. The two-man replacement crew is scheduled to head to the station October 1, along with latest "space tourist" Gregory Olsen, an American scientist and businessman. Olsen is paying the Russian space agency $20 million for a week long visit to the station, before he heads back to earth with the departing crew.
