The unpiloted Roscosmos Progress 94 spacecraft is safely in orbit and headed to the International Space Station<\/a> following its launch at 7:59 a.m. EDT (4:59 p.m. Baikonur time) on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. <\/p>\n

Following launch, one of the Progress spacecraft\u2019s two KURS automated rendezvous antennas did not deploy as planned. All other systems are operating as designed, and Progress will continue toward its planned docking at 9:34 a.m. Tuesday, March 24, to the space-facing port of the station\u2019s Poisk module. Roscosmos will continue troubleshooting the antenna issue. If the antenna cannot be deployed, Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov will manually pilot the spacecraft for rendezvous and docking using the TORU (Telerobotically Operated Rendezvous System), which is a control panel located in the Zvezda Service Module that can be used as a backup to the KURS automated system. <\/p>\n

NASA\u2019s live rendezvous and docking coverage will begin at 8:45 a.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.\u202f <\/p>\n

The spacecraft is delivering about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies to the orbiting laboratory.  <\/p>\n
