A mistake in the russian version (http://www.roscosmos.ru/NewsDoSele.asp?NEWSID=6867) of this news: "Стыковка ТГК «Прогресс М-02М» с Международной космической станцией запланирована на 15:16 по московскому времени 29 июля с.г."

Not Progress M-02M! Progress M67...

Feeling a little lazy today, can you remind me which radar system this is? Is it Kama?

It seems we needn't worry about the ability to keep the high launch rate of Progress and Soyuz now with 6 persons on ISS. At least the rocket operation seems to manage (maybe not surprising since it has performed similar and higher rates in the past).
Perhaps the manufacture of the spacecraft is more worrying.

What R-7 flight is this?  1500+ somethng?
I think it is the 1743rd launch (based on Jonathan McDowell's list of R-7 launches, removing one which didn't actually launch,* and adding six since the last update).

*A Vostok-2M which exploded during fuelling

Did you count in the Jonathan's list ?

According to my classification, it is only launch n°1692...

Progress M-67 was the 1,746th R-7 launch.  This total includes all suborbital R-7 launches.  It would be the 1,691st (give or take) orbital launch attempt.

OK, so if we count the 1980 Vostok-2M prelaunch failure, Progress M-67 was the 1,692nd orbital launch attempt...

Thank you very much for clarification !

If a prelaunch failure counts then an actual launch attempt should count too?

What about the launch failure of Molnija-M 78051676
to launch Kosmos-2340? Engines did ignite then one came loose. 16th Januray 1997
Kosmos-2340 eventualy launch by 76032647

Great video in Roskosmos' Youtube channel about Progress-M67's final processing in Energia's plant (Kurs antenna stow and translation to the rotation and fairing mating stand)



Obviously, it is in the MIK-254 in Baykonur cosmodrome, not in Korolyov...
