Russia Launches Progress 81 Cargo Craft to the International Space Station

The uncrewed Russian Progress 81 cargo craft launched to the International Space Station from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on June 3 atop a Soyuz booster rocket. Progress is filled with almost three tons of supplies and cargo and docked to the aft port of the Zvezda service module after completing a two-orbit rendezvous. The resupply vehicle will remain docked to the space station until late this year.
