Spaceflightnow reports that the Russian cargo freighter has successfully docked with the ISS:
A fresh load of supplies has arrived at the International Space Station, enabling the three-man Expedition 6 crew to remain aboard the complex through late-June or early-July, if necessary. However, no firm decisions have been made concerning the crew's return to Earth or launch of the next resident crew.
The Progress M-47 made its automated docking to the station at 9:49 a.m. EST, one minute earlier than planned. No problems were reported during the final rendezvous or linkup. This was the tenth such supply ship delivered to the station over the past few years.
Commander Ken Bowersox, NASA Science Officer Don Pettit and Russian flight engineer Nikolai Budarin are expected to float into the Progress later today. Their job of unloading the ton of equipment and cargo is scheduled to begin tomorrow.
