*The Progress 91 cargo craft lifts off on time from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.*

The unpiloted Roscosmos Progress 91 spacecraft is safely in orbit headed for the [International Space Station](http://www.nasa.gov/station) following a launch at 4:24 p.m. EST (2:24 a.m. Baikonur time) Feb. 27, on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

After a two-day in-orbit journey to the station, the spacecraft will automatically dock to the aft port of the orbiting laboratory’s Zvezda Service module at 6:03 p.m., Saturday, March 1.

[NASA](https://www.nasa.gov/)’s rendezvous and docking coverage will begin at 5:15 p.m. on [NASA+](https://plus.nasa.gov/scheduled-video/progress-91-cargo-ship-docking/).
