     A Russian cargo ship docked on Friday with the International Space Station carrying clothes, food, oxygen, medical supplies, fuel and a new space suit, RIA Novosti reported from space control centre.

    The Progress M-66 carrying 2.4 tonnes of cargo docked without difficulty to the orbiting space station, currently home to two Americans and a Russian.

    It also carried equipment for scientific work aboard the station.

    As well as bringing supplies and taking waste off the station, the Progress can also be used for conducting experiments and correcting the course of the station's orbit.
