Backdropped by the blackness of space, an unmanned Progress supply vehicle approaches the Pirs Docking Compartment (out of frame) attached to the Zvezda Service Module on the International Space Station (ISS), completing a three-day automated flight. The Progress 11 resupply craft, which launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on June 8, 2003, carried more than two tons of food, fuel, water, supplies and scientific gear for the Expedition 7 crew aboard the Station. The Progress linked up with the ISS at 6:15 a.m. (CDT) on June 11, 2003.
