-NASA to launch cargo craft to International Space Station.
 A piloted cargo craft is scheduled to launch supplies to the International Space Station. The ISS Progress 52 will be launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. (It looks like the Russian Space Agency is helping with the flight so it should really be a NASA/RSA space launch). It will take about 6 hours to get to the space station and it will orbit the Earth four times. It will deliver vital supplies to the crew currently on board the International Space Station.
