Full Description The unpiloted Russian Progress 7 supply ship departs from the Zvezda Service Module's docking port on the International Space Station. Carrying its load of trash and urneeded equipment, it will be deorbited and burned up in the atmosphere. The undocking paves the way for the arrival of the new Progress 8, filled with fresh supplies. Soviet designers realized that long-duration missions in space would demand a constant supply of consumable materials from Earth. The cost-effective Progress spacecraft made possible an almost permanent presence in space and stands out as a single biggest contribution to this achievement. Propulsion and service systems were installed in the tail section of the vehicle and the cargo ship was inseparable during its entire flight. Upon conclusion of its supply mission to the Station, it would be directed into the atmosphere to burn up.

Full Description Astronaut James S. Voss, Expedition Two flight engineer, works with a series of cables on the EXPRESS Rack in the United State's Destiny laboratory on the International Space Station (ISS). The EXPRESS Rack is a standardized payload rack system that transports, stores, and supports experiments aboard the ISS. EXPRESS stands for EXpedite the PRocessing of Experiments to the Space Station, reflecting the fact that this system was developed specifically to maximize the Station's research capabilities. The EXPRESS Rack system supports science payloads in several disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics, ecology, and medicine. With the EXPRESS Rack, getting experiments to space has never been easier or more affordable. With its standardized hardware interfaces and streamlined approach, the EXPRESS Rack enables quick, simple integration of multiple payloads aboard the ISS. The system is comprised of elements that remain on the ISS, as well as elements that travel back and forth between the ISS and Earth via the Space Shuttle.

Title A Russian Proton Rocket Launches Zvezda
Explanation The Russian Proton rocket is the tallest rocket in routine use. First deployed in 1965, the rocket stands [ http://www.solarviews.com/eng/rocket.htm ] typically 40 meters tall, can carry unusually heavy payloads into space, and maintains a high record of reliability. The Proton [ http://www.russianspace.com/proton.html ] can be configured to launch satellites into orbit, to carry modules to a space station [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap960402.html ], and to carry people. The satellites a Proton Rocket [ http://www.space.com/news/spacehistory/proton_history_000707.html ] has launched include Iridium [ http://www.iridium.com/ ], GRANAT [ http://sigma-2.cesr.fr/sigma/granat.html ], and, just last month [ http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/launches/proton_sirius_launch_000630.html ], Sirius 1 [ http://www.siriusradio.com/nonflash_site/default.htm ]. The Proton [ http://www.ilslaunch.com/ILS/press_room/galleries/proton_archive_photos.html ] frequently launched modules that docked with the Mir Space Station [ http://www.hq.nasa.gov/osf/mir/ ]. Pictured above on July 12, a Proton rocket [ http://www.pizzahut.com/CorpStuff/pressreleases/1999/092999_rocket_facts.htm ] launches the Zvezda module [ http://www.shuttlepresskit.com/ISS_OVR/assembly2_overview.htm ] which is scheduled [ http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/station/index.html ] to be added as the third major component of the International Space Station [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990223.html ] next week. The Proton is launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome [ http://www.friends-partners.org/~mwade/sites/baikonur.htm ] in Kazakstan [ http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/kz.html ].

From top to bottom, the astronauts saw a station currently consisting of the Progress supply module, the Zvezda service module [ http://www.shuttlepresskit.com/ISS_OVR/assembly2_overview.htm ], the Zarya cargo module [ http://www.shuttlepresskit.com/ISS_OVR/element1.htm ], and the Unity connecting module [ http://www.shuttlepresskit.com/ISS_OVR/element2.htm ]. Never before had astronauts seen the station since the remote-controlled additions of Progress [ http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/launches/progress_prelaunch_000805.html ] and Zvezda [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap000718.html ]. Energy collecting flat solar panels [ http://www.qrg.nwu.edu/projects/vss/docs/Power/1-what-are-solar-panels.html ] can be seen extending from some of the modules. Soon after this picture was taken, Atlantis docked with the ISS [ http://www.shuttlepresskit.com/ISS_OVR/ ] at the Unity [ http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/sts-106/html/s106e5061.html ] end. The astronauts have worked hard [ http://www.shuttlepresskit.com/STS-106/index.htm ] unloading supplies, installing and testing equipment, and even planning to reboost the floating space station [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap990223.html ] to a higher orbit. The Shuttle and its entire crew are scheduled to return to Earth Wednesday. The Space Shuttle Discovery [ http://www.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/resources/orbiters/discovery.html ] is then scheduled to visit [ http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/shuttle/archives/sts-92/index.html ] the ISS in two weeks.

As the US Space Shuttle fleet [ http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/resources/orbiters/orbiters.html ] prepares to return to flight [ http://www.nasa.gov/news/highlights/returntoflight.html ], supplies usually now come from a robot Progress supply vessel [ http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/station/assembly/elements/progress/index.html ] launched from Kazakhstan [ http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/kz.html ]. Pictured above [ http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/station/crew-9/html/iss009e08847.html ], a Progress ship approaches the ISS [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap021208.html ] on May 27, delivering over 2,500 kilograms of food, water, fuel and other important items. The supply ship soon docked with the Zvezda Service Module [ http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/station/assembly/elements/sm/index.html ] while orbiting [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010723.html ] the Earth over 300 kilometers over central Asia.
