Description

(ROUGH CUT ONLY - NO REPORTER NARRATION)
A Russian rocket launched Sunday en route to the International Space Station following a launch accident in August that forced a cut in staffing aboard the orbital outpost.
The Progress freighter launched at 1101 GMT from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
It is the first flight to the space station since the failed August 24 launch.
The new cargo ship is filled with food, fuel and supplies, including a pair of iPads, which will be used for crew entertainment.
