The Russian cargo craft Progress M1-6 launched from [[Baikonur Cosmodrome]], Kazakhstan, carrying 2.5 tons (2.3 tonnes or 2,300 kilograms) of supplies for the [[International Space Station|ISS]] crew. Along with food, research materials, and a new computer system to replace the damaged control machines, the cargo carrier also hauled 1 ton (0.9 tonnes or 907 kilograms) of extra fuel to the space station, so that Progress M1-6 could push the [[International Space Station|ISS]] into a higher orbit. [[Russian Space Agency]] officials planned for the spacecraft to dock with the [[International Space Station|ISS]] two days after launch. The launch was the first using the newly improved Soyuz-FG rocket, a booster designed to use 5 percent less fuel than previous models.
