Launch of Progress M-19M on a Soyuz-U rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan launch complex Pad 31, Launcher 6 on 24 Apr 13 10:12:17 GMT Local Time : 24 Apr 13 16:12:17 ALMT

The Soyuz rocket launched the Progress M cargo transport spacecraft to the International space station on the ISS resupply mission Progress M-19M. The Progress transport is carrying more than 2.5 tonnes of equipment, fuel, food and water to the space station.

Unlike its three predecessors, this Progress vehicle is relegated to the typical two-day rendezvous because of the phasing and orbital mechanics associated with this launch date. Docking to the aft port of the Zvezda service module is scheduled for Friday at 8:26 a.m
