Russia's Soyuz-2.1a carrier rocket has successfully launched the Progress MS-30 cargo spacecraft into orbit, as reported in a live broadcast by Russia’s state-run space corporation, Roscosmos.
It was the first launch of the Progress space freighter and the first launch from Baikonur in 2025.
TASS referring to a live broadcast by the Roscosmos space agency, said the spacecraft is expected to reach the International Space Station (ISS) in about 50 hours. Its docking with the Zvezda module is scheduled for 2:04 a.m. Moscow time on Sunday (11:04 p.m. Saturday GMT).
The spacecraft will deliver 2,599 kg of various cargoes to the ISS, including 1,179 kg of equipment, stowage for scientific experiments, clothing, food, medical and hygienic sets for the crew, 950 kg of refueling propellant, 420 kg of potable water for cosmonauts and 50 kg of nitrogen to replenish the ISS atmosphere.
The cargo also includes the new Orlan-ISS No. 6 spacesuit for cosmonauts' spacewalks under the Russian program. Currently, Russian cosmonauts use the Orlan-ISS No. 4 and Orlan-ISS No. 5 spacesuits for extravehicular activity outside the space station.
Additionally, the resupply ship will deliver supplies for conducting the Aseptic, Biodegradation, Virtual, Cascade, Lasma, Mirage, Neuroimmunity, and Photobioreactor experiments aboard the station.
