Cargo craft docks with Mir

KOROLYOV, JAN. 27. A Russian cargo craft successfully docked with the aging space station Mir today, officials at the Russian mission control said.

The Progress M1-5 craft, carrying some 2.7 tonnes of fuel, docked at 8:33 a.m. Moscow time, slightly behind schedule, officials said.

In late February, the craft is due to lower Mir's orbit to 80 Km.
