Russia launches Progress 92 cargo ship toward the ISS

A Russian Progress 92 cargo spacecraft launched today (July 3) atop a Soyuz rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, carrying about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies to the International Space Station.

The uncrewed freighter is set to dock with the ISS’s Poisk module on Saturday, replacing Progress 90, which recently departed.

Progress is one of three cargo vehicles servicing the ISS, alongside Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus and SpaceX’s reusable Dragon, Space.com has reported.
