Russian Mission Control experts on Thursday succeeded in latching a cargo ship securely onto the international space station, after an initial failure to complete the docking, an official said.

"The repeat attempt to hook up the ship with the station has been a success," Mission Control spokesman Valery Lyndin told The Associated Press.

A faulty antenna apparently prevented the Progress M-58 cargo ship from hooking up quickly to the station, after a smooth docking at 6:28 p.m. Moscow time (1428 GMT), he said.

Plans to deploy an HF transceiver and a digital TV system in space were among the highlights of the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) 2006 International Delegates Meeting October 9-10 near San Francisco. The session also marked ARISS's 10th anniversary.

A shipment of supplies began its journey to the International Space Station Monday as the ISS Progress 23 cargo ship was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The new resupply ship lifted off at 9:41 a.m. EDT (7:41 p.m. Baikonur time). It will be the 23rd Progress to visit the station. Less than 10 minutes later, the cargo ship reached orbit, and its solar arrays and navigational antennas were deployed for the three-day trip to the
orbital outpost.
