After a two-day, in-orbit journey to the station, the spacecraft will dock autonomously to the space-facing port of the orbiting laboratory’s Poisk module at 5:27 p.m. on Saturday, July 5. NASA’s rendezvous and docking protection will start at 4:45 p.m. on NASA+.
The Progress 92 spacecraft will stay docked to the area station for roughly six months earlier than departing for re-entry into Earth’s environment to eliminate trash loaded by the crew.
Forward of the spacecraft’s arrival, the Progress 90 spacecraft will undock from the Poisk module on Tuesday, July 1. NASA won’t stream undocking.
The Worldwide House Station is a convergence of science, expertise, and human innovation that permits analysis not potential on Earth. For practically 25 years, NASA has supported a steady U.S. human presence aboard the orbiting laboratory, via which astronauts have realized to stay and work in area for prolonged intervals of time. The area station is a springboard for creating a low Earth financial system and NASA’s subsequent nice leaps in exploration, together with missions to the Moon beneath Artemis and, finally, human exploration of Mars.
