NASA TV to Air Launch, Docking of Russian Cargo Delivery to Space Station

A Russian cargo ship loaded with almost three tons of food, fuel and supplies is set to launch to the International Space Station Monday, July 9. Live coverage of the spacecraft’s launch and docking will air on NASA Television and the agency’s website.

The ISS Progress 70 spacecraft is scheduled to lift off at 5:51 p.m. EDT July 9 (3:51 a.m. July 10, local time) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Launch coverage will begin at 5:30 p.m.
The Progress 70 cargo vehicle, planned for a fast-track to the space station, will dock at 9:39 p.m. NASA TV coverage of docking will begin at 9 p.m. The less-than-four-hour trip will demonstrate an expedited capability that may be used on future Russian cargo and crew launches.

Progress 70 will remain at the orbital outpost until late January 2019.

Translated from Russian
The meeting of the Co-chairs of the Russian-Kazakh intergovernmental commission was held at Baikonur https://www.roscosmos.ru/25285/

This is their equivalent of the final Launch Readiness Review and would have cleared everything to proceed in prop load.

T-2hrs and COUNTING. At this time, if teams are on the countdown timeline, which they appear to be, LOX (Liquid Oxygen) and RP-1 fueling operations are wrapping for the Soyuz 2.1a carrier rocket.

At T-1hr 45mins and counting, teams are now preparing to remove the tankers that brought the LOX and RP-1 fuel to the Soyuz 2.1a rocket AND are commencing with final launch vehicle checkouts.

Isn't it odd to have that many people working around a fully fueled vehicle?
