After a two-day in-orbit journey to the station, the spacecraft will dock autonomously to the aft port of the Zvezda service module at 6:03 p.m. Saturday, March 1. NASA\u2019s rendezvous and docking coverage will begin at 5:15 p.m. on NASA+.<\/p>\n
The Progress 91 spacecraft will remain docked to the space station for approximately six months before departing for 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
