International Space Station Commander, Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov filmed the approach of the "Progress MS-34" cargo ship to the station during a flyby at a distance of approximately 200 meters. The ship launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on April 26 at 01:22 Moscow time and entered orbit nine minutes later.
"Progress MS-34" delivered about 700 kilograms of fuel, 420 kilograms of drinking water, 50 kilograms of oxygen, and 1348 kilograms of equipment to the ISS, including a new "Orlan-MKS No. 8" spacesuit. The cargo ship docked with the "Zvezda" module on April 28.
We were really looking forward to this ship. In addition to the usual fuel, air, water, and other necessary cargo, it brought a new spacesuit for EVAs, materials for experiments, and long-awaited packages from home.
