From Times Wire Reports
An unmanned Russian cargo ship carrying more than 2.5 tons of supplies, equipment and gifts for the International Space Station blasted off from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Included in the cargo are two spare computers to back up those that failed in June, briefly disabling orientation and oxygen production on the Russian side of the space station. Docking is scheduled for Sunday.
