Russian cargo ship docks with space station

A Russian cargo ship carrying food and equipment for astronauts docked successfully with the International Space Station on Friday after a similar craft crashed back to Earth in December. Russia's space agency said the unmanned Progress freighter carrying 2.5 tonnes of supplies including air, food and fuel "successfully docked" with the orbiting station at 0830 GMT. It had blasted off from Russia's Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan aboard a Soyuz rocket on Wednesday.
