Russia Just launched the fastest Cargo Mission ever to space station

in #space6 years ago

So guys your bro is back with another latest astronomical article , recently I saw the news where I discovered that Russia just launched their fastest Cargo Mission . So lets hop into it....

 So this was launched to the International Space Station (ISS) yesterday (July 9) to deliver supplies to the crew of Expedition 56 in record time. This  was packed with nearly 3 tons (2.7 metric tons) of food, fuel and other supplies, the uncrewed Progress cargo ship lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on a Russian Soyuz rocket at 5:51 p.m. EDT (2151 GMT; 3:51 a.m. July 10 local time). 

 The vessel is  known as Progress 70 or Progress MS-09 and is expected to arrive at the space station tonight at 9:39 p.m. EDT (0139 GMT on July 10), completing the trip in a record time of 3 hours and 48 minutes. "The less-than-4-hour trip will demonstrate an expedited capability that may be used on future Russian cargo and crew launches " said NASA officials.

Well I am just excited to see that mankind is progressing so much from the time we had no vehicles to space journey.

 When it arrives at the ISS, the Progress spacecraft will dock at the Russian Pirs module. NASA TV will provide live coverage of the spacecraft's arrival and docking at the ISS, and you can watch it live on NASA tv  starting at 9 p.m. EDT (0100 GMT).
