NASA to Cover Progress 94 Spacecraft Launch, Space Station Docking
NASA will provide live coverage of the launch and docking of a Roscosmos cargo spacecraft carrying approximately three tons of food, fuel and crew supplies aboard the International Space Station.
The Roscosmos Progress 94 unmanned resupply spacecraft is scheduled to launch at 7:59 a.m. EDT (4:59 p.m. Baikonur Time) on Sunday, March 22, on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Watch NASA’s live coverage starting at 7:30 a.m. on NASA+, Amazon Prime and the agency’s YouTube channel. Learn how to watch NASA content on various online platforms, including social media.
After a two-day journey to the space station, the spacecraft will autonomously dock with the Poisk module’s space-facing port at approximately 9:34 a.m. on Tuesday, March 24. Live coverage of NASA’s rendezvous and docking will begin at 8:45 a.m. on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and the agency’s YouTube channel.
The Progress 94 spacecraft will remain docked at the orbiting laboratory for approximately six months before departing for a destructive re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere to remove waste loaded by the crew. Before this spacecraft arrived, Progress 92 detached from the space station on March 16, reentered Earth’s atmosphere, and burned up harmlessly above the Pacific Ocean.
For more than 25 years, humans have continuously lived and worked aboard the International Space Station, advancing scientific knowledge and achieving research breakthroughs not 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 the foundation for long-duration missions to the Moon under the Artemis program and to Mars.
