Gallery: Soyuz Rocket Rolls out to Baikonur Launch Pad with Fresh Cargo for ISS

A Soyuz 2-1A rocket rolled out to its launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome at sunrise on Tuesday, greeted by colorful skies as the stage is set for liftoff on Thursday to send the Progress MS-07 cargo ship on an ultra-fast rendezvous with the International Space Station. Progress MS-07 is the first spacecraft aiming to link up with the Space Station after just two orbits around the Earth, traveling only three and a half hours from the Kazakh launch site to its orbital destination.
