Blastoff! Russian cargo ship launches to space station

T minus 38 seconds in counting and there is the retraction of the first umbilical the second AB Bilal will retract in about 14 seconds and the second umbilical now retracting initiating the auto sequence start standing by for main engine ignition we have main engine start the engines and turbo pumps coming up to flight speed and liftoff liftoff of the so booster progress 88 beginning its delivery run to the International Space Station soyu booster pitching down range arcing out to the north East from the launch site all engines up and running in good shape good vehicle structure reported performance nominal according to the uh launch conductor at the Block housee in vikon yaw pitch and roll all nominal good structural parameters on the soyu's booster 55 seconds into the flight engine chamber pressures are nominal good structural support for the vehicle now passing the area of Maximum Dynamic pressure on the vehicle 1 minute 14 seconds into the flight the flight reported to be nominal good control of the vehicle good structural support the block house and bikan or reporting all structural parameters are normal at the 1 minute 42 Mark into the flight we're about 18 seconds away from first stage separation and we have first stage separation the second stage engine up and running and will burn for the next two minutes and 40 seconds 2 minutes 20 seconds into the flight all of the soyu booster uh engine parameters are normal good trajectory for the soyu booster a little over six minutes of powered flight remaining 2 minutes 45 seconds into the flight good second stage performance 3 minutes into the flight everything proceeding normally with the ascent to its preliminary orbit for the progress 88 cargo ship three minutes 15 seconds into the flight 5 and a half minutes of powered flight remaining and we have the jettisoning of the launch shroud that uh protected the progress 88 during the initial stage of assent second stage shutdown is expected at the 4 minute 37 second Mark into the flight all control of the vehicle reported to be nominal From the Block housee in bikan or this view now from a uh camera on the upper stage of the so's booster 4 minutes into the flight about 37 seconds until second stage shut down good performance from the second stage engine reported uh by uh the uh flight controllers 4 minutes 24 seconds into the flight standing by for second stage shutdown there is the third stage skirt jettison and the third stage engine is up and running it will burn for 4 minutes and 12 seconds the vehicle is stable all parameters are normal 5 minutes 20 seconds into the the flight about 3 and A2 minutes of powered flight remaining good third stage performance liftoff uh was timed perfectly right on time at uh 4:42 and 59 seconds a.m. Central Time which was 24259 seconds p.m. at the launch site in bonor 6 minutes into the flight everything proceeding on track y pitch and roll for the third stage is right on the money the third stage engine continues to perform as advertised at the 6 minute 30 second Mark into the flight about 2 minutes and 20 seconds of powered flight remaining again this video from a camera on the upper stage of the soyuz booster at third stage shutdown in spacecraft separation the progress will be inserted into a preliminary orbit about 125 miles above the Earth again a series of engine firings uh will slowly increase the altitude of the progress to match that of the International Space Station 7 minutes 20 seconds into the flight about 90 seconds of powered flight remaining the flight uh continues uh to proceed in nominal fashion according to the flight controllers in bonor at the 7 minute 45 second Mark into the flight about 1 minute of powered flight remaining the vehicle is stable all third engine PR parameters are normal at the 8 Minute 25 second Mark into the flight we're about 20 seconds away from third stage shutdown and spacecraft separation yaw pitch and roll all nominal standing by for third stage shutdown and we have third stage shutdown and spacecraft separation the progress now in its preliminary orbit hopefully we will get a view here momentarily of solar array deploy and there go the solar arrays e
