[b]Progress M-07M launches to the space station[/b] The Progress M-07M (39P) cargo craft launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 6:22 a.m. EDT Friday. The Russian resupply craft is delivering 1,918 pounds of propellant, 110 pounds of oxygen, 375 pounds of water and 2,645 pounds of spare parts, experiment hardware and other supplies for the Expedition 24 crew members. Docking is scheduled for 7:58 a.m. Sunday to the aft end of the Zvezda service module. NASA TV coverage on Sunday begins at 7:15 a.m. High winds at the launch pad Wednesday delayed the launch by 48 hours. With winds gusting up to 33 miles per hour Russian launch officials rescheduled Wednesday's launch activities to Friday morning with no impact to operations onboard the International Space Station. The station crew tested Zvezda's docking system and configured television systems to prepare for the arrival of the Progress. Its predecessor, undocked Aug. 31 and was deorbited Sept. 6 for a fiery destruction over the Pacific Ocean.
