Russian Zvezda module launches to back International Space Station
The Proton K rocket lifted Zvezda into orbit from Baikonur Kazakhstan, key to the International Space Station. The 42000 pound 48 foot module will provide life support power data processing and propulsion and its docking with the ISS is expected later this month. The successful launch ends years of delays and raises hopes for a 2005 first crewed flight.
