Progress Cargo Craft Launches to Resupply Station Crew
The unpiloted Roscosmos Progress 94 spacecraft is safely in orbit and headed to the International Space Station following its launch at 7:59 a.m. EDT (4:59 p.m. Baikonur time) on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Following launch, one of the Progress spacecraft’s two KURS automated rendezvous antennas did not deploy as planned. All other systems are operating as designed, and Progress will continue toward its planned docking at 9:34 a.m. Tuesday, March 24, to the space-facing port of the station’s Poisk module. Roscosmos will continue troubleshooting the antenna issue. If the antenna cannot be deployed, Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov will manually pilot the spacecraft for rendezvous and docking using the TORU (Telerobotically Operated Rendezvous System), which is a control panel located in the Zvezda Service Module that can be used as a backup to the KURS automated system.
