Good things come to those (modules) that wait. On July 21, at 14:58:25 UTC (10:58:25 EDT), a Proton-M rocket launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome to take the first Russian ISS module in 11 years to orbit. The moment marked a major milestone for Roscosmos, which was originally slated to launch the module in 2007.
