MOSCOW - A Russian cargo ship was launched successfully to the International Space Station on Sunday, clearing the way for the next manned mission and easing concerns about the station's future after a previous failed launch.
The unmanned Progress M-13M blasted off as scheduled from the Russian-leased Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Mission Control spokesman Valery Lyndin said.
The cargo ship is scheduled to dock at the station on Wednesday. A new crew will be launched on Nov. 14.
A Progress launch failure in August, which was blamed on a manufacturing flaw, cast doubts about future missions to the station
