SPACE — An automated Russian supply spacecraft was successfully launched into near-Earth orbit mid-June, it’s mission: re-supply the International Space Station.

The spacecraft was loaded onto a Soyuz rocket that is launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

After detaching from the rocket, the spacecraft continues on an automated 2-day route toward the International Space Station, reported Russian news agency TASS. Progress then docks with the ISS, where it will deliver food and scientific equipment.
