ISS009-E-18364 (14 August 2004) --- Appearing as a silhouette backdropped against airglow of Earth’s horizon, an unpiloted Progress supply vehicle approaches the International Space Station (ISS). The Progress 15 resupply craft launched at 12:03 a.m. (CDT) on August 11, 2004 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan to deliver almost three tons of food, fuel, oxygen, water and supplies to the Expedition 9 crewmembers onboard the Station. Progress docked to the aft port of the Zvezda Service Module at 12:01 a.m. (CDT) on August 14 as the two craft flew 225 statute miles over central Asia.
