Progress MS-19 will make a record flight to the ISS in 2022.

Russian spacecraft Progress MS-19 in 2022 will make a record annual flight to the ISS.

03:04 31.10.2021 (updated: 03:16 31.10.2021)

MOSCOW, October 31 - RIA Novosti. The Russian cargo spacecraft Progress MS-19, which is going into orbit in February 2022, will make a record annual flight to the ISS, follows from the station program at the disposal of RIA Novosti.

According to the document, Progress MS-19, which is scheduled to launch from the Baikonur cosmodrome on February 15 next year, will have to stay in the International Space Station for up to 370 days.

In 2021, Progress MS-14 set a record for the longest flight for ships of this family - 369 days.

The Progress ships are used to deliver cargo for the crew, fuel, oxygen, air and drinking water to the station. With the help of their engines, the stations' orbits are corrected. Since 1978, 170 launches of Progress spacecraft of various modifications have been carried out, three of which did not make it to the ISS due to launch vehicle accidents in 2011, 2015 and 2016.

New "truck" launched to the ISS

02/15/202207:36

On Tuesday, February 15, 2022, at 07:25:40 Moscow time, the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle with the Progress MS-19 cargo spacecraft was successfully launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. After 8 minutes 48 seconds, the separation of the ship and the third stage of the carrier was recorded, then the solar panels and antennas were revealed. This launch was the 50th for the Soyuz-2 launch vehicle of stage 1a.

Specialists of the Main Task Force for Flight Control of the Russian Segment of the International Space Station (Rocket and Space Corporation Energia named after S.P. Korolev, part of the State Corporation Roscosmos) have begun flight control. The rocket in the normal mode brought the ship into the target orbit with the following parameters:

Orbital period  - 88.55 minutes;

orbital inclination  - 51.67 degrees;

the minimum orbit height  is 192.9 km;

the maximum orbit height  is 240.9 km.

The autonomous flight to the International Space Station will take place according to a two-day scheme, and docking to the Poisk module of the Russian segment is scheduled for February 17, 2022 at 10:06 Moscow time (±3 minutes). Mooring is planned to be carried out automatically under the supervision of specialists from the TsNIIMash Mission Control Center (part of Roscosmos) and Roscosmos cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Petr Dubrov.

About 1,600 kg of equipment and materials are placed in the cargo compartment of the ship, including resource equipment and maintenance equipment for on-board systems, medical control and sanitary and hygienic supplies, clothing, food rations and fresh food for the crew members of the 66th expedition, as well as a set of target loads under the program of Russian scientific and applied research and experiments:

" Neurolab " stacks for conducting medical experiments "Pilot-T" to study the influence of long-term flight factors on the quality of professional activity of cosmonauts;

" Air " and " Surface " stacks for the "Aseptic" experiment to develop means for ensuring sterility when performing bioexperiments;

laying " Bioprobe " for the experiment "Biodegradation" to study the effect of microflora on structural materials in space and develop methods for the biological safety of spacecraft;

installation " Biomodule " for the experiment "Photobioreactor" to study the possibility of obtaining food and oxygen from the photosynthetic microalgae spirulina;

stacking " Cups " and " Tubes " for the experiment "Biomag-M" to study the influence of space factors on the properties of bioorganisms when shielding the Earth's magnetic field;

" BOP ", " PM " and " PS " stacks for the "Cascade" experiment to develop effective methods for the biotechnological production of cell cultures in microgravity;

laying "Probiovit" for the development of technology for the production of pharmacological products with immunomodulatory properties in microgravity.

In addition, in the cargo compartment there are six small spacecraft of the CubeSat class "YUZGU-55" No. 5-10 developed by the Research Institute of Space Instrumentation (part of Roscosmos) and radio-electronic systems of the South-Western State University, designed to be launched from the ISS during the exit into outer space.

The Progress MS-19 cargo ship is approaching the ISS

02/16/202217:00

The autonomous two-day flight of the Progress MS-19 cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station continues in the normal mode under the control of the Main Operational Control Group for the Russian Segment of the ISS (Rocket and Space Corporation Energia named after S.P. Korolev, part of the State Corporation Roscosmos) ).

During the first day of the flight, the ship performed a complex of dynamic operations to raise the reference orbit using two firings of the main engine. This morning, February 16, 2022, after a planned trajectory correction maneuver, the ship formed ballistic conditions for an autonomous rendezvous with the station. The long-range approach segment using on-board navigation starts at 07:40 Moscow time on February 17. It provides for the conduction of two motor impulses for the precise exit of the Progress MS-19 into the calculated zone of the meeting with the station on the 34th orbit. From that moment on, the automatic control of the ship passes to the Kurs-NA onboard rendezvous and docking system.

The berthing and docking of the Progress MS-19 cargo spacecraft with the Poisk small research module of the ISS Russian Segment is scheduled for February 17, 10:06 Moscow time. The final stage of the flight under the program of the 80th supply mission will be held under the control of the Russian members of the ISS crew outside the visibility zone of ground-based measuring instruments of the GOGU. The truck will deliver refueling fuel, supplies of drinking water and compressed nitrogen, as well as 1,600 kg of various equipment and materials necessary for conducting scientific experiments and further operation of the station in a manned mode to the station.

Currently, the crew of the 66th long-range expedition, consisting of Roscosmos cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov, NASA astronauts Thomas Mashburn, Mark Vande Hay, Raja Chari, Kayla Barron and ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer, are currently working on board the International

Russian Cargo Craft Nears Station, U.S. Space Freighter at Launch Pad

Mark Garcia Posted on February 16, 2022

A Russian resupply ship is targeting the International Space Station for a cargo delivery early Thursday. While two cosmonauts get ready to support the cargo craft’s arrival, the rest of the Expedition 66 crew juggled lab maintenance, space research, and robotics training ahead of a U.S. cargo mission due to launch on Saturday.

Nearly three-and-a-half tons of food, fuel, and supplies are racing toward the orbiting lab today aboard the ISS Progress 80 resupply ship from Roscosmos. Station Commander Anton Shkaplerov and Flight Engineer Pyotr Dubrov will be monitoring the cargo craft’s automated approach on Thursday when it docks to the Poisk module at 2:06 a.m. EST. The duo continued training today on the tele-robotically operated rendezvous unit, or TORU, preparing for the unlikely event the Progress 80 would need to be manually docked.

Another cargo craft rolled out to its launch pad on Tuesday at the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The U.S. Cygnus space freighter from Northrop Grumman is loaded with over 8,300 pounds of station hardware and new science experiments. It will launch atop an Antares rocket on Saturday at 12:40 p.m. and reach the station for a capture with the Canadarm2 robotic arm on Monday at 4:35 a.m.

NASA Flight Engineers Raja Chari and Kayla Barron trained today for the capture activities on the robotics workstation and will be on duty Monday monitoring Cygnus’ approach and rendezvous. Controllers on the ground will take over robotics duties after Cygnus is captured and remotely install the U.S. cargo craft to the Unity module’s Earth-facing port where it will stay for just over three months.

The station’s other three astronauts focused on ongoing equipment servicing and microgravity science in the midst of this week’s cargo activities. NASA Flight Engineers Mark Vande Hei and Thomas Marshburn wrapped up the cooling component work on the COLBERT treadmill in the Tranquility module. Marshburn also set up an Astrobee robotic free-flyer with a smart phone video guidance sensor being tested remotely by controllers on Earth. ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Matthias Maurer swapped hardware inside the waste and hygiene compartment, the station’s restroom, before computer operations on human research gear.

Progress MS-19 is dumped in Pacific Ocean.

The Progress MS-19 vacated the docking unit for the next spacecraft that’s scheduled for launch on October 26.

24 OCT, 00:11

MOSCOW, October 24. /TASS/. The Progress MS-19 cargo spacecraft has been dumped in an unnavigated area of the Pacific after undocking from the International Space Station on Monday, Roscosmos said on Monday.

"The Progress MS-19 cargo spacecraft has been removed from orbit, entered into the Earth’s atmosphere and underwent destruction. The parts of its frame that haven’t burned up fell in an unnavigated area of southern Pacific," the company said in a statement.

The Progress MS-19 vacated the docking unit for the next spacecraft that’s scheduled for launch on October 26.

Roscosmos earlier said the Progress MS-19 would take away trash and equipment that’s past its lifespan from the ISS.

The Progress MS is a Russian automatic spacecraft that was created specifically to service orbital stations. It’s used to deliver various cargoes (fuel, scientific equipment, oxygen, water, food and others) to the ISS, as well as to adjust its orbit. The Progress MS-19 was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on February 15, delivering about 1,600 kg of cargo to the ISS, including equipment, expendables of the life support system, medical control and sanitary and hygienic equipment, clothes and food for cosmonauts, fuel, drinking water, compressed nitrogen. In addition, the space freighter carried six UZGU-55 nanosatellites Nos. 5-10.
