Progress 95 Cargo Craft Docks to Station with Food, Fuel, and Supplies
The uncrewed Roscosmos Progress 95 spacecraft docked to the aft port of the International Space Station's Zvezda module at 8 p.m. EDT Monday.
The spacecraft is delivering about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the Expedition 74 crew. It will remain docked to the orbiting laboratory for about six months before departing for a planned destructive re-entry into Earth's atmosphere to dispose of trash loaded by the crew.
It launched at 6:21 p.m. EDT April 25 (3:21 a.m. Baikonur time April 26) on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
