DEORBITING TUG ARRIVES AT SPACE STATION MIR
-------------------------------------------
After a three-day chase, an unmanned cargo ship successfully reached
Russia's space station Mir today, becoming most likely the last
arrival from Earth to the outpost. The Progress M1-5 spacecraft,
carrying propellant for Mir's deorbiting, docked to the station at
0534 GMT (12:34 a.m. EST).

I subscribe to this list and it is the best one that I know about to keep in touch
with SPACE NEWS!
