A Soyuz-2.1a rocket will launch the Progress MS-07 spacecraft to resupply the International Space Station (ISS Progress 68 mission) on 12 October 2017, at 09:32 UTC (15:32 local time), from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The spacecraft is set to dock to the Pirs Docking Compartment just three and a half hours, or two orbits of Earth, after launch to demonstrate an expedited capability for potential use on future Russian cargo and crew launches.
