Today, in the assembly and testing facility at the 31st site of the Baikonur Cosmodrome, specialists from Roskosmos enterprises conducted a general assembly of the Soyuz-2.1a rocket with the Progress MS-23 cargo spacecraft.

Later, the state commission authorized the removal and installation of the rocket at the launch pad 31 on May 21.

The launch of Soyuz-2.1a with Progress MS-23 is scheduled for May 24 at 15:56:07 Moscow time.

The Soyuz-2.1a rocket is made by the Progress Rocket and Space Center, while the ship is made by the Korolev Rocket and Space Corporation Energia (part of Roscosmos).

Progress MS-23 will carry 2,491 kg of cargo to the International Space Station, including 499 kg of fuel for refueling, 630 kg of drinking water and 40 kg of nitrogen, as well as 1,322 kg of resource equipment and tools, consumables and stowages for scientific experiments, clothing, food and hygiene products to support the work and life of the crew of the 69th long-duration expedition.

The "truck" sends a universal workstation URM-D for installation on the outer surface of the service module "Zvezda" of the Russian segment of the ISS during the spacewalk. For the experiment "Sail-MSTU" (staged by Bauman Moscow State Technical University) in the ship is a launcher with a student nanosatellite, which is to be launched manually by astronauts during the Russian extravehicular activity to test the deployment of the solar sail.

Also delivered on Progress MS-23 is a video spectral system for observing the Earth's surface in the interests of the Hurricane experiment, the GlavBox-C glove box, hardware and equipment for the Aseptic, Splankh, Correction, Neuroimmunity, Separation and Vampire experiments.

The Soyuz-2.1a rocket, designed to launch the Progress MS-23 spacecraft, carries images dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the city of Perm and the 60th anniversary of the first flight into space by a woman, Valentina Tereshkova.

MEDIA ADVISORY M23-062

NASA to Provide Live Coverage of Space Station Cargo Launch, Docking

NASA will provide live launch and docking coverage of the Roscosmos Progress 84 cargo spacecraft carrying about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the Expedition 69 crew aboard the International Space Station.

The unpiloted spacecraft is scheduled to launch at 8:56 a.m. EDT (5:56 p.m. Baikonur time) on Wednesday, May 24, on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. NASA coverage will begin at 8:30 a.m. on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website.

The Progress spacecraft will be placed into a two-orbit journey to the station, leading to an automatic docking to the Poisk module at 12:20 p.m. NASA coverage will resume at 11:30 a.m. for rendezvous and docking.

The spacecraft will remain at the orbiting laboratory for approximately six months, then undock for a destructive but safe re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere to dispose of trash loaded by the crew.

The International Space Station is a convergence of science, technology, and human innovation that enables research not possible on Earth. For more than 22 years, NASA has supported a continuous U.S. human presence aboard the orbiting laboratory, through which humans have learned to live and work in space for extended periods of time. The space station is a springboard for the development of a low Earth orbit economy and NASA's next great leaps in exploration, including missions to the Moon under Artemis and ultimately, human exploration of Mars.
