--> 00:30:42,840 And all of the appendages have 425 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,842 now been deployed, the solar 426 00:30:44,842 --> 00:30:46,644 arrays, the navigational antenna 427 00:30:46,644 --> 00:30:49,247 and the boom on the progress, a 428 00:30:49,247 --> 00:30:50,949 perfect launch and ride to its 429 00:30:50,949 --> 00:30:52,283 preliminary orbit, launch 430 00:30:52,283 --> 00:30:55,987 occurring at 851 and 41 seconds 431 00:30:55,987 --> 00:31:00,291 p.m. central time, 9:50, 41 432 00:31:00,291 --> 00:31:02,293 eastern time, a good ride on its 433 00:31:02,293 --> 00:31:04,896 2.1A booster and so the progress 434 00:31:04,896 --> 00:31:06,197 chase is now on to reach the 435 00:31:06,197 --> 00:31:08,099 International Space Station with 436 00:31:08,099 --> 00:31:11,502 docking scheduled at 12:12a.m. 437 00:31:11,502 --> 00:31:14,105 central time, 1:12a.m. eastern 438 00:31:14,105 --> 00:31:14,706 time. 439 00:31:14,706 --> 00:31:37,729 >> And so about an hour or so 440 00:31:37,729 --> 00:31:39,430 after sunrise at the Baikonur 441 00:31:39,430 --> 00:31:41,232 Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the 442 00:31:41,232 --> 00:31:44,035 Soyuz 2.1A booster took flight, 443 00:31:44,035 --> 00:31:45,937 delivering the progress resupply 444 00:31:45,937 --> 00:31:47,438 vehicle, the 75th progress 445 00:31:47,438 --> 00:31:49,540 resupply ship to a perfect 446 00:31:49,540 --> 00:31:51,576 orbit, a preliminary orbit, a 447 00:31:51,576 --> 00:31:53,378 series of engine firings 448 00:31:53,378 --> 00:31:56,180 prebrand engine burns now will 449 00:31:56,180 --> 00:31:58,082 raise the progress's orbit and 450 00:31:58,082 --> 00:32:00,184 put it on a path to reach the 451 00:32:00,184 --> 00:32:01,286 International Space Station. 452 00:32:01,286 --> 00:32:02,787 There is our first view through 453 00:32:02,787 --> 00:32:04,489 the progress's external 454 00:32:04,489 --> 00:32:06,491 television camera. 455 00:32:06,491 --> 00:32:08,793 All of the progress systems are 456 00:32:08,793 --> 00:32:09,694 in excellent shape. 457 00:32:09,694 --> 00:32:12,096 The progress carrying 2.78tons 458 00:32:12,096 --> 00:32:13,998 of food, fuel and supplies for 459 00:32:13,998 --> 00:32:14,999 the residents of the 460 00:32:14,999 --> 00:32:16,801 International Space Station. 461 00:32:16,801 --> 00:32:18,803 We will be back on the air at 462 00:32:18,803 --> 00:32:21,806 11:30 p.m. central time, 12:30 463 00:32:21,806 --> 00:32:23,608 a.m. eastern time with our 464 00:32:23,608 --> 00:32:25,510 rendezvous and docking coverage, 465 00:32:25,510 --> 00:32:26,911 docking scheduled again at 466 00:32:26,911 --> 00:32:29,414 12:12a.m. central, 1:12a.m. 467 00:32:29,414 --> 00:32:31,316 eastern time on Saturday 468 00:32:31,316 --> 00:32:31,816 morning. 469 00:32:31,816 --> 00:32:33,217 So be back with us in a couple 470 00:32:33,217 --> 00:32:34,719 of hours and rejoin our coverage 471 00:32:34,719 --> 00:32:36,220 at that time. 472 00:32:36,220 --> 00:32:37,622 Until then, this is mission 473 00:32:37,622 --> 00:32:47,632 control Houston.
