This the the 11A511U Soyuz launcher for Progress M-56. The serial number of the rocket is P15000-100. This imagem was taken on the MIK-112 the day before the Soyuz TMA-8 launch.

vehicle 34/132 is going to be used for the Resurs-DK1 (1L) launch

This rocket has P15000-096 serial number, is not it?

That's right, the vehicle 34/132 is going to be used for the Resurs-DK1 (1L) launch (actually there was a paper next to the Resurs-DK rocket with the inscription 11A511U-PBV 34/132). But if you visit http://www.federalspace.ru/PlanQuart.asp you'll see that that rocket has the serial number P15000-096.

In this image you can see the serial number of the Progress M-56 rocket.

By the way, P15000-096 should was launched with Progress M-55, but was replaced on F15000-080...

11A511U-PBV

Rui, please note again, how this designation is written correctly in Russian and in English!... :)

11A511U-PVB, not 11A511U-PBV... :) You have accidently mixed letters "V" and "B" in this designation... :)

I remind that Progress M-56 will be launched at 16:03:26 UTC on April 24... ;)

Unfortunately, there will not be live coverage (I mean television picture from Baikonur) of this launch on NASA TV... :( But a docking (approximately at 17:54 UTC on April 26) will be "live" on NASA TV exactly!... :)

Live event thread moved into the newsfeed section.

Soyuz-U rocket will launch Progress M-56 cargo ship to ISS from Baikonur cosmodrome at 16:03:25 UTC - April 24.

No live coverage of note, unless someone knows better...but our Russian friends should be able to get news of how it all progressed (no pun intended) pretty fast.

This should be something NASA TV covers. But that's not happening?

No. NASA TV only covers the docking of Progress spacecrafts, never the launch.
