MOSCOW - An unmanned Russian cargo ship carrying more than 2.5 tons of supplies, equipment and gifts docked successfully Sunday at the international space station, officials said.
The Progress M-61, which lifted off Thursday from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, moored at the orbiting outpost at 10:40 p.m., according to schedule, Russia's Mission Control spokesman Valery Lyndin said.
The ship delivered oxygen, water, food and scientific equipment to the station's crew -- Russian cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Oleg Kotov, and U.S. astronaut Clayton Anderson.
The cargo ship also brought two spare computers to back up those that failed in June, briefly disabling orientation and oxygen production on the Russian side of the space station. The breakdown was quickly fixed.
Along with other cargo, the spaceship also delivered books, movies, gifts and other personal items for the crew.
