1.   An unmanned Russian cargo spacecraft with repair supplies for Mir will be launched this week.

2.   A Russian cargo plane has never come to their facility before, company officials said.

3.   A Russian cargo capsule pulled away from the station today, providing the parking spot for the Soyuz spacecraft delivering the American and Russian crew.

4.   Finally, the fuselage was carefully slid into the open jaws of the Russian cargo plane.

5.   If the nascent outpost is in good shape, shuttle astronauts will not return until May, this time with supplies and equipment, including a Russian cargo crane.

6.   Now they are working to quiet the Japanese centrifuge and the Russian cargo module, which is so loud the crew has to wear earplugs.

7.   One school of speculation is that the Kursk collided with a Russian cargo ship.

8.   Rising values in New York, and colder weather across Europe helped gasoil rise, outweighing perceptions that Russian cargoes heading for the region would flood the market.

9.   The astrophysicist said the outpost is in better shape than at any time since it was struck by a free-flying Russian cargo capsule.

10.   The crew will have to wait about two weeks in a darkened station for special repair equipment to arrive on a Russian cargo craft.
