NASA TV PROVIDES COVERAGE OF SPACE STATION CARGO SHIP ACTIVITIES

WASHINGTON -- NASA Television will broadcast an unpiloted Russian 
cargo ship's departure from the International Space Station on April 
15 and the launch and docking of another April 24 and 26. 

The ISS Progress 49 resupply ship, which arrived at the station in 
late October, will depart the rear port of the station's Zvezda 
service module at 8:01 a.m. EDT, April 15. NASA TV coverage of the 
undocking will begin at 7:45 a.m. Progress 49 will reenter Earth's 
atmosphere several days later and burn up over the Pacific Ocean. 

Progress 49's departure will clear the way for the arrival of the ISS 
Progress 51 cargo craft. Loaded with more than 3 tons of food, fuel, 
supplies and experiment hardware for the six crew members aboard the 
orbital laboratory, Progress 51 is scheduled to launch from the 
Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 6:12 a.m. (4:12 p.m. Kazakh 
time) Wednesday, April 24. NASA TV coverage of the launch will begin 
at 6 a.m. 

Progress 51 will take two days to catch up and rendezvous with the 
space station. It is scheduled to dock at 8:27 a.m. Friday, April 26. 
NASA TV coverage will begin at 7:45 a.m.
