The site lists the time as 3:09 am, not pm - which would make it 0709 UTC 28 Apr

Thanks. I'm not sure how I got that mixed up. The NASA manifest is not showing the mission now. Here's the Tsenki page on the launch.

http://www.tsenki.com/en/launch_services/help_information/launch/2015/?EID=120974

The broadcast site

http://www.tsenki.com/en/broadcast/

is showing a launch time of 10:09 Moscow time (7:09 UTC, 3:09 EDT). Coverage begins at 8:10 Moscow time (5:09 UTC, 1:09 EDT).

I have just counted and it looks like this is the 150th Progress mission. Is that correct?
