In addition, Mission Control is preparing another cargo ship - Progress M-61 - for launch to the ISS in line with the ISS flight program.
"The launch of the Progress M-61 ship is scheduled for August 2, at 9:33 p.m. Moscow time [5:33 p.m. GMT], and its docking with the ISS for August 5, 10:40 p.m. Moscow time [6:40 p.m. GMT]," the representative said.
Mission Control said Tuesday it successfully adjusted the International Space Station's orbit in preparation for the docking of the U.S. space shuttle Endeavour.
The launch of the NASA STS-118 mission is targeted for August 8. It will be the 22nd flight to the International Space Station (ISS) and the first flight for Endeavour since 2002.
