Progress Docking Highlights Busy Day for Crew
The arrival of a new cargo craft highlighted an extended workday Tuesday for the Expedition 15 crew aboard the International Space Station.
The ISS Progress 25 cargo craft, loaded with more than 2.5 tons of fuel, air, water and other supplies and equipment, docked smoothly at the aft port of the station's Zvezda Service Module on Tuesday at 1:10 a.m. EDT. Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin stood by at the manual Toru docking system controls, but did not need to intervene.

ISS STATUS REPORT #07-26
A spacecraft automatically docked to the International Space Station early Tuesday, delivering 2.5 tons of food, fuel and supplies for the residents on board.
The ISS Progress 25 linked up to the aft port of the Zvezda Service Module at 12:10 a.m. CDT Tuesday as the station sailed 208 miles above the Earth off the northeast coast of Australia. Within minutes, hooks and latches engaged between the two spacecraft to form a tight seal. The hatch to the supply ship will be opened overnight to enable its cargo to be unloaded.

International Space Station (ISS) Website & PR/Media Office?
Dear Alain & ISS Fan Club Members,
Since about 1992 the International Space Agency (ISA) has been asking the Member Nations of ISS to set up an Official Global International Space Station (ISS) Website?
We have suggested domains:
http://www.iss.gov
-or-
http://www.iss.int
This website would act as the neutral core and central reference point for all Member Nations to redirect ISS General Public and Media related internet traffic. This would allow all ISS public information globally to be directed to "ONE" neutrally managed ISS website. All ISS crew media interviews and video of ISS operations and launches to ISS could also be centrally presented on this central ISS Website.
