Moscow - A cargo craft successfully docked with the International Space Station, the Russian space agency Roskosmos said on Thursday.
Meanwhile controllers encountered problems with a separate research satellite when its engines failed to fire, Russian news agencies reported.
The Russian Progress M-24M cargo craft automatically docked with the International Space Station at 03:31 GMT with more than 2.3 tons of supplies after having lifted off from the Baikonur space centre in Kazakhstan six hours previously.
The ISS currently hosts a crew of three Russian cosmonauts, two US astronauts, and one German.
Separately, engineers at Progress were trying to save a research satellite after it failed to respond to commands, which has left it in an improper orbit, Russian news agencies said.
The Foton-M satellite was launched on 19 July on a two-month mission to study the effect of weightlessness on plants and insects.
The mishap is the latest in series of setbacks that has plagued Russia's once-famed space programme.
