The Roscosmos video is now available on YouTube (use search with Прогресс М-05М). Another great video. In one of the launch replays there's a close-up view of the ice falling off the rocket.

Progress M-05M to Dock to the ISS Today

01.05.2010

Progress M-05M which flew from Baikonur on April 28 is to dock to the International Space Station today, at 22.35 MSK. The cargo supply spaceship is to deliver about 2.6t of cargo to the International Space Station.
Live of the docking sequence will be available at Vesti.ru.

The sequence is expected to be automatic, however if it fails ISS commander Oleg Kotov or FE Alexander Skvortsov will take over manual control of the vehicle.
The Progress carries food, water, propellant, equipment, etc. The cargo supply ship will also deliver payloads for Russian experiments Cascade, Matreshka, and tool kit for new module Rassvet scheduled to arrive to the station in mid May.

If I'm correct, we should get NTV coverage of docking?

I tried to see Progress last night. ISS was visible, but Progress was not following it. Due to the recent sunset, I probably would have missed Progress if it had been leading ISS, though, which is probably what happened.

This is a little confusing to me, since I always thought that Progress or Soyuz "catch up" to ISS during a rendezvous, but, come to think of it, they are in lower orbits, which are faster, so actually, they are ahead of the station, and catch up from ahead.
