Progress M-018M was launched at 1441 GMT today from Baikonur in Kazakhstan to conduct a re-supply mission to the International Space Station. The craft will follow the rapid rendezvous flight profile in order for it to dock around six hours after launch. This profile has been used by the last two Progress missions and if this one is successful it will then be used by the next manned Soyuz TMA mission in March. This would allow the onboard crew to rendezvous and dock with the station around six hours after launch instead of the normal two days.
