Progress-1 launched and docked
Progress-1 is launched to the Chronus space station. With a beautiful on-time launch, the progress soared into space without any problems. Progress-1 delivered foot, water, air, and clothes to the ongoing expedition 1 crew, that's onboard Chronus at this time. The Progress docked 2 days after launch.
ATV-1 launched and docked
A day after the launch of Progress-1, the European ATV-1 launched into space. ATV-1 delivered the first hardware for the station, such as laptops cameras and printers. It also servers as temporarily storage room until Kvant-2 arrives at the station. ATV-1 docked 3 days after launch instead of the planned 2 to give the crew more time to unpack some things from the newly arrived Progress-1.
Launch and docking photo's are posted below
Kvant-2 being readied for flight
Kvant-2, the first mayor module to be added to the station is being readied for its flight. The launch of this module is scheduled for April 15th. Kvant-2 will add storage room to the station but also sleeping room for the crew. It also adds an airlock which enables the crew to perform EVA's. The first EVA is scheduled to start a week later, on April 22. Kvant-2 will be launched atop of a Proton.
SNOFAS-2 ready for flight
SNOFAS-2 is ready to join the already in orbit SNOFAS-1. Targeted to launch atop of an Ariane 4, for April 16th. The SNOFAS satellite network will help to save people who are buried beneath an avalanch.
