On Nasa's website, the last update said: "Russian flight controllers are continuing attempts to communicate with and troubleshoot issues with the Russian Progress 59 cargo spacecraft as it makes additional passes tonight over Russian ground stations."
It is carrying more than 6,000lb of food, fuel, and supplies for the International Space Station crew. As we already know, it is unmanned and it launched at 3.09 a.m. EDT (1.09 p.m. local time in Baikonur) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Nasa said.
