An uncrewed Russian freight spacecraft has actually gotten here at the International Space Station after a two-day journey to deliver food, fuel and supplies for the orbiting outposts crew.The Progress MS-17 truck connected with the Poisk mini research module on the space-facing side of the stations Russian sector on Thursday (July 1). The automated docking occurred at 8:59 p.m. EDT (0059 GMT on July 2). Released on Tuesday (June 29) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Progress MS-17 completed 34 orbits of Earth on its way to the spaceport station.

Flight controllers monitored the situation, but no maneuvers were required to prevent an impact, with the Starlink satellite anticipated to zip at a distance of about 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) and the rocket piece passing at about 1,600 feet (500 meters). The 2 encounters happened about 3 minutes apart.Packed aboard Progress MS-17 is more than 3,600 pounds. (1,630 kgs) of materials for the spaceport stations Expedition 65 team, consisting of leader Akihiko Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and flight engineers Mark Vande Hei, Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur of NASA, Thomas Pesquet of the European Space Agency (ESA) and Oleg Novitsky and Pyotr Dubrov of Roscosmos. Amongst the freight to be unpacked are Russian science experiments designed to develop countermeasures for osseous (bone) lesions and to study the impact of long-duration area missions on cosmonauts activities. There is likewise research study into pharmaceuticals to modulate the human immune system and hardware to map the international structure of area weather condition and meteorological processes from orbit.Progress MS-17 will invest almost 5 months docked to Poisk at the station. The cargo craft is then scheduled to carry out an automatic undocking and moving to the brand-new “Nauka” multipurpose laboratory module in late October. Named for the Russian word for “science,” Nauka is slated to be released to the spaceport station this summer.After being and changing ports repacked with refuse from the space station, Progress MS-17 will undock in November to return to Earths environment for its safe damage. Progress MS-17 is the 78th Russian freight craft to launch to the International Space Station because August 2000.
