  • Crew Opens Cargo Craft, Works on Physics Gear and Biomedical Tech

    The aurora australis arcs above Earth’s horizon and fades into the airglow as the International Space Station orbited 265 miles above the Indian Ocean east of Perth, Australia, at approximately 2:03 a.m. local time. In the foreground, the Soyuz MS-28 crew spacecraft is shown docked to the Rassvet module. In the background, the Pirs docking module is attached to the Nauka science module.

    The hatches are open between the International Space Station and the new Progress 95 cargo spacecraft following the delivery of about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies on Monday. Meanwhile, physics equipment maintenance topped the scientific schedule as the lab residents installed new quantum research gear and stowed cryogenic fluid hardware.

  • Progress 95 Cargo Craft Approaches Station for Docking on NASA+

    The Progress 93 resupply ship from Roscosmos, carrying about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the Expedition 73 crew, is pictured automatically approaching the International Space Station before docking to the Zvezda service module's rear port for six months of cargo activities.

    The unpiloted Roscosmos Progress 95 spacecraft is continuing toward its planned 8 p.m. autonomous docking to the aft port of the station’s Zvezda module. It launched at 6:21 p.m. EDT on April 25 (3:21 a.m. Baikonur time on April 26) on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
