This Russian cargo vehicle joined the ISS in three hours. Symbolic picture |
Russia's cargo-ship reached the International Space Station (ISS) in just three hours with 2.8 tons
of luggage without astronauts.
The International Space
Station (ISS) is a joint unique experiment of scientists from all over the
world. In which many countries of the world including America and Russia are
simultaneously engaged in space research. Recently, Russian astronauts have returned
to the Earth after several days. Now Russian spacecraft has successfully
carried a large amount of goods into space. Click here
Where to deliver
Has sent its Progress
MS-14 spacecraft called ISS (ISS) with 2.8 tons of goods and equipment without
any astronauts. The vehicle took off from the Bachnoor Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan
on 24-April-2020 itself.
How long could this
vehicle connect with ISS
The vehicle made two
rounds of orbit and then managed to join the ISS in only three hours and 21
minutes of flight. Soyoz 2.1 Space Ship, which went without astronauts, made
its flight at 6.51 am local time Saturday and successfully went into orbit of
the space station.
Many exercises were
done for this rocket. And in its decisive flight, it joined the space station
without any trouble at 11.12 am. During this time, the vehicle traveled 260
miles.
The vehicle sent 1,543
pounds of propellant, 110 pounds of oxygen, 926 pounds of water and 2,9994
pounds of cargo. It also included some food items and equipment. Expedition 63
Commander Chris Cassidy and Cosmonaut Anatole Evanishin and Ewan Wagner will
fill this space with the spacecraft for the next few days.
There are now very
important launches for this station program. Now the Japanese space agency is
sending an STV cargo ship on May 20 to replace the station's solar battery. A
week later, NASA and Space X will launch a crew dragon capsule in which the
Astronauts Bob Benken and Doug Hurley leave for the space station.
This flight named Demo
3 is very special for NASA because it will be the first time since last July
2011 that astronauts are going to be sent to space from US Earth. This has
confirmed such missions to NASA's Crew Dragon, and NASA's reliance on movement
on Russian Soyuz spacecraft will also be over.
The ISS has a sent
artificial satellite on Earth's lower orbit. The program also includes NASA and
Roskosmos (Russian Space Agency), Japan's JAXA (JAXA), Europe's ESA and
Canada's CSA.
It has been a lab-like
work in which astronomers of this space agency visit from time to time and conducts
experiments there on biology, human biology, physics, astronomy, meteorology,
and others like them. Apart from this, it also has uses for space missions to
Mars and Moon. It travels around the Earth in about 92 minutes.
