A Russian cargo spacecraft docked Friday at the International Space Station, delivering nearly three tons of supplies to its crew.
A Soyuz rocket carrying the uncrewed Progress MS-20 ship blasted off as scheduled from the Russia-leased Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The spacecraft smoothly docked at the space outpost about 3 1/2 hours after the launch.
It has delivered food, fuel and other supplies for the station's international crew.
