 Moscow, Russia (UPI) Oct 21, 2006
 On Saturday, Russia readied a space freighter which will provide food and other supplies to the International Space Station crew, Russia's space agency said.

The Progress M-58 freighter was scheduled to be launched on a Soyuz-U rocket at 5:40 p.m. Moscow time (9:40 a.m. EDT) Monday.

The freighter will supply about 2 1/2 tons of cargo, including fuel components, scientific equipment, documents, food, water, air and parcels to the crew, Russia's Itar-Tass news agency reported.

It will also supply a spare set of cables and valves for the Elektron oxygen generator that broke last month.

The freighter is scheduled to dock with the space station Thursday.

The space station crew includes NASA's Michael Lopez-Alegria, Russia's Mikhail Tyurin and Germany's Thomas Reiter.
