MOSCOW (AP) -- A Russian cargo ship laden with food, water, oxygen, fuel and other supplies docked successfully with the international space station Wednesday, Mission Control said MOSCOW (AP) -- A Russian cargo ship laden with food, water, oxygen, fuel and other supplies docked successfully with the international space station Wednesday, Mission Control said. The Progress M1-10 linked up with the station at 7:15 p.m. EDT (1115 GMT), Mission Control spokesman Valery Lyndon said. The automatic docking proceeded without a hitch, he said. Russian launches have become the only links to the station since the U.S. shuttle fleet was grounded after the Columbia disintegrated during its return to Earth in February, killing all seven crew members on board. The space station's current crew, American astronaut Edward Lu and cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko, arrived April 28 aboard a Russian Soyuz capsule.
