Progress 93 Cargo Craft Docks to Station Resupplying Crew
The unpiloted Progress 93 spacecraft arrived at aft port of the International Space Station's Zvezda module at 1:23 p.m. EDT on Saturday.
The Roscosmos spacecraft is delivering about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the Expedition 73 crew aboard the space station. It will remain docked for approximately six months before departing for a re-entry into Earth's atmosphere to dispose of trash loaded by the crew.
The spacecraft launched at 11:54 a.m. EDT on Sept. 11 (8:54 p.m. Baikonur time) on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
