An unpiloted Russian spacecraft carrying cargo for the International Space Station launched yesterday, carrying 1,000kg of spare parts, equipment and hardware.

The craft, which launched from Kazakhstan, is due to dock at the space station on Friday morning and will replace a similar waste-filled craft which left the station earlier this month.
