The unmanned Progress craft delivered oxygen, food, and water as well as a variety of tools. The Spektr module was badly damaged two weeks ago when another supply ship ploughed into the ageing space station.

The King's Holly is a self-propagating clone which does not produce seeds but reproduces by shedding cuttings of itself on to the forest floor. Cuttings from the bush were the same as fossilised remains on the forest floor. The holly has glossy pointed leaves and flowers regularly.
