Any update on this launch?
Is the docking system test on the Soyuz?
what is the link to a live stream?
Just to check, this is involving the "PU-5 LC1 ‘Gagarinskiy Start’ (17P32-5) launch complex"?

The craft will also deliver flatworms, mosquito larvae and translucent Medaka fish for scientific research.The fish will continue a joint Russian-Japanese experiment to examine closed ecological systems in space and simultaneously study muscle atrophy and bone loss in zero gravity.
Stefan Barensky has drawn my attention to the fact that Progress M-22Mcarried a 1U cubesat to the ISS for later deployment. The payload isChasqui 1 from Peru's Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria.

the first satellite built by Peruvian engineers, and takes a week at the International Space Station (ISS) after it was launched smoothly in the Russian ferry Progress M-22M.Once on the International Space Station, the nanosatellite will have to wait until late March when they travel to that place cosmonauts who will be responsible to put in orbit
Gunter Krebs reported, that it will be launched via Kibo airlock.http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/chasqui-1.htm

Mr Penguin, you need to realise that the Americans like to pretend that they are doing something that is new when they launch a cargo freighter to a space station. Of course the Russians have been doing this routinely since 1978: also the Russians routinely launch on time while US missions to ISS are just as routinely subject to delays, launch scrubs, etc.
