NASA TV COVERS ARRIVAL OF RESUPPLY SHIP TO SPACE STATION

The residents of the International Space Station will receive a new
shipment of food, fuel and supplies on April 26, and NASA TV will
broadcast its arrival live.

Aboard the station, Expedition 13 Commander Pavel Vinogradov and
Flight Engineer and NASA Science Officer Jeff Williams have settled
in for six months in space. They will stand by as the Progress
resupply craft automatically docks to the aft port of the Zvezda
Service Module at approximately 1:52 p.m. EDT on April 26. NASA TV
coverage of the arrival starts at 1 p.m. EDT.

The cargo ship will bring two-and-one-half tons of supplies for
Vinogradov and Williams. It will launch at 12:03 p.m. EDT April 24
from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. NASA TV will not
broadcast the launch. A NASA International Space Station status
report will be issued following the launch.

This will be the 21st Progress cargo craft to launch to the station.
The previous Progress is attached to the station's Pirs Docking
Compartment and will remain there until it is jettisoned in June. For
