NASA will provide live launch and docking coverage of a Roscosmos cargo spacecraft delivering nearly three tons of food, fuel, and supplies to the Expedition 72 crew aboard the International Space Station.<\/p>\n
The unpiloted Progress 90 spacecraft is scheduled to launch at 7:22 a.m. EST (5:22 p.m. Baikonur time) Thursday, Nov. 21, on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n
Live launch coverage will begin at 7 a.m. on NASA+ and the agency\u2019s website. Learn how to watch NASA content through a variety of platforms, including social media.<\/p>\n
After a two-day in-orbit journey to the station, the spacecraft will dock autonomously to the space-facing port of the orbiting laboratory\u2019s Poisk module at 9:35 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 23. NASA\u2019s coverage of rendezvous and docking will begin at 8:45 a.m. on NASA+ and the agency\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
The Progress 88 spacecraft will undock from the Poisk module on Tuesday, Nov. 19. NASA will not stream undocking.<\/p>\n
The spacecraft will remain docked at the station for approximately six months before departing for a re-entry into Earth\u2019s atmosphere to dispose of trash loaded by the crew.<\/p>\n
The International Space Station is a convergence of science, technology, and human innovation that enables research not possible on Earth. For more than 24 years, NASA has supported a continuous U.S. human presence aboard the orbiting laboratory, through which astronauts have learned to live and work in space for extended periods of time. The space station is a springboard for developing a low Earth economy and NASA\u2019s next great leaps in exploration, including missions to the Moon under Artemis and, ultimately, human exploration of Mars.<\/p>\n
