NASA will provide live coverage of the launch and docking of a Roscosmos cargo spacecraft carrying about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the crew aboard the International Space Station.<\/p>\n

The unpiloted Progress 95 resupply spacecraft is scheduled to launch at 6:21 p.m. EDT on Saturday, April 25 (3:21 a.m. Baikonur time on Sunday, April 26), on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n

Watch NASA\u2019s live coverage beginning at 6 p.m., on NASA+<\/a>, Amazon Prime<\/a>, and the agency\u2019s YouTube<\/a> channel. Learn how to watch NASA content<\/a> through a variety of online platforms, including social media.<\/p>\n

After a two-day trip to the space station, Progress will dock autonomously to the aft port of the Zvezda module at 8 p.m., Monday, April 27. NASA\u2019s live rendezvous and docking coverage will begin at 7:15 p.m., on NASA+<\/a>, Amazon Prime<\/a>, and the agency\u2019s YouTube<\/a> channel.<\/p>\n

The Progress 95 spacecraft will remain docked to the orbiting laboratory for about seven months before departing for a re-entry into Earth\u2019s atmosphere to dispose of trash loaded by the crew. Prior to this spacecraft\u2019s arrival, Progress 93 undocked<\/a> from the space station on April 20, re-entered the Earth\u2019s atmosphere and harmlessly burned up over the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n

For more than 25 years, people have lived and worked continuously aboard the International Space Station, advancing scientific knowledge and making research breakthroughs that aren\u2019t possible on Earth. The space station helps NASA understand and overcome the challenges of human spaceflight, expand commercial opportunities in low Earth orbit, and build on the foundation for long-duration missions to the Moon, as part of the Artemis program, and to Mars.<\/p>\n
