(23 Jul 2020) A Soyuz carrier rocket with a Progress MS-15 resupply ship blasted off from the Baikonur spaceport towards the International Space Station, NASA announced in its live broadcast on Thursday.
This is the second launch of the Russian freighter to the International Space Station in 2020 and Russia's first summer launch this year.
In about nine minutes after the lift-off, the space freighter was delivered into orbit.
The resupply ship is scheduled to dock to the Pirs module of the space station's Russian segment after two orbits (in three hours and 21 minutes).
The docking operation is expected to proceed in the automated mode under the control of specialists of Russia's Flight Control Center from Earth and ISS cosmonauts Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner from outer space.
The Progress MS-15 is due to deliver about 2.6 tons of supplies to the orbital outpost, including tanks with water and oxygen cylinders, fuel for the refueling system, kits for space experiments, sanitary and hygienic items, clothing, medicines and standard foot rations.
