The Progress MS-35 cargo spacecraft has been delivered to the Baikonur Cosmodrome after being transported from Korolev, near Moscow. Specialists from RSC Energia reported that the spacecraft has already undergone an initial inspection at the arrival site.
Engineers conducted a comprehensive check of the onboard systems, including testing the mechanisms for deploying solar panels. The ship will be in storage mode until the start of active pre-launch preparations.
In parallel, work continues at Baikonur with another cargo spacecraft, Progress MS-34, which is also being prepared for its upcoming launch.
Earlier, on March 22, Progress MS-33 was sent to the International Space Station. It successfully delivered water, fuel, food, and scientific equipment to the crew.
According to the approved schedule, the deorbiting of the International Space Station is scheduled to be completed in 2030. Until then, Russian Progress cargo ships will continue to provide regular supplies to the orbital complex.
