Progress-M25 launched for flight to MIR.

The freighter Pr-M25 blasted off from Baykonur on 11.11.94 at
0721UTC for a flight of 2 days to the MIR station. The trans
mitters of Pr-M25 could be heard here during the 3d and 4th
orbit at resp. 1157 and 1326UTC.
If all goes according to plan Pr-M25 will arrive at MIR on
13.11.94 at abt 0902UTC. Pr-M25 has to dock to the aft (Kvant-
1) docking port of the station. The approachsysteem for this
port has been checked during a short autonomous flight of
Soyuz-TM19 on 3.11.94. No anomalies were found. If the system
fails on 13.11 the cosmonauts are ready to guide Pr-M25 with
the system TORU.
