Russia’s Progress MS-34 Cargo Ship Bound for ISS
The Progress MS-34 spacecraft, mounted atop a Soyuz-2.1a carrier rocket, roared off the launchpad at 1:22 a.m. Moscow time (2222 GMT Saturday), carrying more than 2.5 tonnes of essential supplies destined for the orbiting laboratory. The haul includes fuel, food, water, oxygen, scientific equipment, and spacesuits.
According to a live broadcast by Russia's state space corporation, the spacecraft successfully separated from the rocket's third stage and was inserted into its designated orbit without incident.
The freighter is now making its way toward the ISS, with the transit expected to span approximately 49.5 hours. Docking is scheduled for Tuesday, when the vessel will berth with the Zvezda service module on the Russian segment of the station.
