This close-up view of an unpiloted Progress supply vehicle was taken by one of the crewmembers onboard the International Space Station (ISS) as it approached the aft docking port (out of frame) on the Zvezda Service Module. The Progress 12 resupply craft, which launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 8:48 p.m. (CDT) on August 28, 2003, carried nearly three tons of food, fuel, water, supplies and scientific gear for the Expedition 7 crew aboard the Station. The Progress linked up with the Station at 10:40 p.m. (CDT) on August 30, 2003 as the two spacecraft were flying over Central Asia at an altitude of 240 statute miles.
