Progress cargo craft to deliver presents for crew, equipment.
MOSCOW, June 23 (Itar-Tass) -- Russia's cargo spaceship Progress will
deliver on Thursday over 2.6 tonnes of cargo for the station and the crew
and new equipment for scientific experiments.
This year's third space freighter lifted off Baikonur on Tuesday, June
21.
The Progress M-11M is due to dock with the Russian segment of the
International Space Station at 20:37 Moscow time, spokesman of Russia's
Mission Control Valery Lyndin said. Should anything go wrong, flight
engineers Alexander Samokytyayev or Sergei Volkov will run docking with
the station manually.
The freighter carries food, drinking water, fuel, equipment, clothes,
and oxygen. Besides standard cargo, Progress will deliver to the station a
new portion of napkins and detectors to install in the Russian part of the
ISS a 'curtain', which would protect cosmonauts from space irradiation.
Besides, the crew will receive new equipment for physics and biotechnology
experiments.
The cargo craft delivers packages from psychologists, presents from
the families, fruit and pickles.
Psychologists have sent DVDs with Russia's old musicals and recent
foreign films. Fantasy fan Borisenko will receive three books, where two
were written by Stanislaw Lem.
Big family packages for Russians contain many tasty surprises,
carefully prepared by relatives and friends.
