The long sought attempt at launching a Russian Progress resupply vehicle to the International Space Station and having it rendezvous with the orbital complex after just two and a half orbits and just under 4 hours in space is being attempted. Roscosmos launched the Progress MS-09 craft at 17:51:33 EDT (2151:33 UTC) from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, with docking to the Space Station scheduled at 21:31 EDT (0131 UTC on 10 July) – just 3 hours 40 minutes after launch.
