Roscosmos announced the completion of the next stage of preparation for the launch of the "Progress MS-30" cargo spacecraft — the testing of solar panels.
Specialists deployed sections of photovoltaic cells and irradiated them with powerful lamps to monitor the efficiency of converting light energy into electrical energy.
In addition to testing solar panels, preparations are underway for cargo and equipment to be sent to the International Space Station (ISS).
The launch of "Progress MS-30" is scheduled for February 28. It will be carried out using the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle from the 31st площадки of the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
