[:ja]アレックス・ゲルスト宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したカザフスタン、バイコヌール宇宙基地からのプログレス補給船の打ち上げです。

プログレス補給船は、現在主にISSへの補給に使われているロシアの使い捨て無人貨物輸送宇宙船です。貨物船であるプログレスは飛行中は無人ですが、宇宙ステーションへのドッキング後は宇宙飛行士が中に入ることができるので、製造しているRKKエネルギア社では「有人」に分類しています。

[Earthview Wonders] No.723: Progress Launch

Astronaut Alex Gerst captured from ISS the launch of Progress cargo ship at Baikonur, Kazakhstan.

The Progress is a Russian expendable cargo spacecraft and its purpose is to deliver supplies needed to sustain human presence in orbit. While it does not carry a crew it can be boarded by astronauts when docked with a space station, hence it being classified as manned by its manufacturer.
