NASA launched an unpiloted cargo craft that will deliver supplies to the International Space Station.

The ISS Progress 52 launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and contains three tons of food, fuel, supplies and experimental hardware, including vital spacesuit repairs tools.

The shipment is expected to reach the ISS about six hours after the launch after orbiting the earth four times.
