An unmanned Russian cargo vessel carrying fuel and water supplies for the crew of the International Space Station docked with it on Saturday, Russian news agencies quoted space flight control as saying.

The Progress cargo vehicle blasted off from Russia's Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Thursday and reached the ISS as scheduled at 0259 GMT Saturday.

The vehicle is also carrying food and personal packages for the ISS's 14th crew: Russian Mikhail Tyurin and Americans Michael Lopez Alegria and Sunita Williams.
