NASA TV TO AIR SPACE STATION CARGO SHIP LAUNCH AND DOCKING



HOUSTON -- NASA Television will provide live coverage of the launch 
and docking of the next Russian cargo spacecraft to the International 
Space Station Wednesday, Oct. 31. 

The ISS Progress 49 resupply ship, loaded with 2.5 tons of food, fuel 
and supplies for the crew aboard the station, is scheduled to launch 
from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 2:41 a.m. CDT (3:41 
a.m. EDT and 1:41 p.m. Kazakhstan time). NASA TV coverage of the 
launch begins at 2:15 a.m. 

A few hours later, NASA TV coverage will resume at 8 a.m. CDT for the 
docking of the Progress to the space station's Zvezda Service Module 
at 8:40 a.m. 

If any technical issues arise, the Russian flight control team may 
default to a two-day rendezvous plan that would result in docking on 
Nov. 2.
