The Progress MS-27 spacecraft, which is located at Baikonur, has been refueled with fuel components and compressed gases. It is being prepared for launch to the International Space Station (ISS), scheduled for May 30, the Roscosmos press service reported.
The Soyuz-2.1a carrier rocket will deliver Progress MS-27 into orbit. Specialists will soon dock the spacecraft with the adapter section, which provides communication with the head fairing and the rocket. Then Progress MS-27 will be placed in the fairing, which will protect the space freighter during launch into orbit.
2504 kg of cargo will be delivered to the ISS:
- 1290 kg of equipment and apparatus, clothing and food
- 754 kg of fuel
- 420 kg of water
- 40 kg of nitrogen
Russian cosmonauts will receive a hyperspectrometer for photographing the Earth in various spectral ranges (the Uragan experiment). Packages for the Biopolimer, Vzaimodeystviye-2, Virtual, Korrektsiya, Neuroimmunity, and Pilot-T experiments will be delivered to the station.
