Re: Oct. 27, Soyuz-U - Progress M-08M (40P)

Soyuz-U Delivered to Baikonur 26.07.2010

A train with the Soyuz-U rocket has arrived at Baikonur space port last Saturday. After the customs clearance, the rocket was headed to the integration and test facility.
The rocket will be used to launch Progress M-08M in late October.
Soyuz rockets are developed and manufactured by TsSKB-Progress in Samara. Soyuz LVs are very reliable, and this was the main reason for choosing this rocket for further launch operations from the Guiana Space Center.

Posted: October 27, 2010

Just a week before the shuttle Discovery arrives at the International Space Station for its construction mission, a Russian resupply ship has launched to deliver a load of equipment, fuel and provisions to the orbiting science laboratory.

Liftoff of the cargo freighter atop a Soyuz booster from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan occurred today at 11:11 a.m. EDT (1511 GMT).

The preliminary orbit was achieved after a nine-minute ascent provided by the three-stage rocket, and onboard commands were issued to unfurl the craft's communications and navigation antennas and extend two power-generating solar arrays that span 35 feet.

A series of precise engine firings over the next three days will guide the Progress toward an automated rendezvous with the station. The docking is slated for Saturday at 12:39 p.m. EDT (1639 GMT).

The 24-foot long ship will attach itself to the open port on the Pirs compartment, which was vacated Monday when a previous Progress was jettisoned.

Today's launch was known in the station's assembly matrix as Progress mission 40P. The spacecraft's formal Russian designation is Progress M-08M.
