Progress Cargo Craft Approaching Station for Docking
NASA's live coverage of rendezvous and docking is now underway on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and the agency's YouTube channel. Learn how to watch NASA content through a variety of online platforms, including social media.
The Roscosmos Progress 94 spacecraft launched at 7:59 a.m. EDT (4:59 p.m. Baikonur time) March 22 on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
After launch, one of the spacecraft's two KURS automated rendezvous antennas did not deploy. All other systems are operating normally, and Progress is continuing toward its planned 9:34 a.m. docking to the space-facing port of the International Space Station's Poisk module.
Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov will manually pilot the spacecraft for rendezvous and docking using the TORU (Telerobotically Operated Rendezvous System), a control panel inside the Zvezda Service Module used as a backup to the KURS system.
