Before being sent to Baikonur, Progress MS-33 underwent a full cycle of factory tests, including autonomous checks of onboard systems, electrical tests, and leak testing in a vacuum chamber. After successful completion of all tests, the spacecraft was sent to the cosmodrome for further launch preparations. 

The cargo ship will deliver about 2.5 tons of various cargo to the ISS, including fuel, water, equipment for scientific experiments, and sanitary and hygienic materials. This will ensure the smooth operation of the Russian segment of the station and support the crew.
