Russian supply rocket bound for station
A Russian rocket loaded with supplies for the international space station has lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, according to a BBC News report.
The rocket carrying the Progress M-52 spacecraft lifted off at 12:09 a.m. local time Tuesday.
Aside from providing supplies to the station, the cargo flight will help prepare the station to act as a "lifeboat" in case of an accident aboard the space shuttle. Discovery is scheduled for launch in May.
