NASA will provide live coverage of the launch and docking of a Roscosmos cargo spacecraft delivering approximately three tons of food, fuel, and supplies to the Expedition 73 crew aboard the International Space Station.<\/p>\n
The unpiloted Roscosmos Progress 92 spacecraft is scheduled to launch at 3:32 p.m. EDT, Thursday, July 3 (12:32 a.m. Baikonur time, Friday, July 4), on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n
Live launch coverage will begin at 3:10 p.m. on NASA+. 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 5:27 p.m. on Saturday, July 5. NASA\u2019s rendezvous and docking coverage will begin at 4:45 p.m. on NASA+.<\/p>\n
The Progress 92 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
Ahead of the spacecraft\u2019s arrival, the Progress 90 spacecraft will undock from the Poisk module on Tuesday, July 1. NASA will not stream undocking.<\/p>\n
The International Space Station is a convergence of science, technology, and human innovation that enables research not possible on Earth. For nearly 25 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
