NASA will provide live coverage of the launch and docking of a Roscosmos cargo spacecraft carrying about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the crew aboard the International Space Station.<\/p>\n
The unpiloted Roscosmos Progress 94 resupply spacecraft is scheduled to launch at 7:59 a.m. EDT (4:59 p.m. Baikonur time) Sunday, March 22, on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n

After a two-day trip to the space station, the spacecraft will dock autonomously to the Poisk module\u2019s space-facing port at about 9:34 a.m. Tuesday, March 24. NASA\u2019s live rendezvous and docking coverage will begin at 8:45 a.m. on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and the agency\u2019s YouTube channel.<\/p>\n
The Progress 94 spacecraft will remain docked to the orbiting laboratory for about six months before departing for a destructive re-entry into Earth\u2019s atmosphere to dispose of trash loaded by the crew. Prior to this spacecraft\u2019s arrival, Progress 92 undocked from the space station on March 16, re-entered Earth\u2019s atmosphere, and burned up harmlessly over the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n
For more than 25 years, people have lived and worked continuously aboard the International Space Station, advancing scientific knowledge and making research breakthroughs that\u00a0aren\u2019t\u00a0possible on Earth. The\u00a0space\u00a0station helps NASA understand and overcome the challenges of human spaceflight, expand commercial opportunities in low Earth orbit, and build on the foundation for long-duration missions to the Moon as part of the Artemis program and to Mars.\u00a0<\/p>\n
