Russia’s Progress MS-21 cargo spacecraft successfully docked with the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS) early Friday.
The website of Russia’s state space corporation Roscosmos reported.
The docking process was supervised from the ground by specialists from the Mission Control Centre, and also by the ISS crew.
This included cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev, Dmitry Petelin and Anna Kikina, Russia’s state media TASS reported.
The Progress MS-21 cargo spacecraft delivered 2.5 tonnes of cargo to the ISS, including various equipment, fuel, compressed nitrogen, water and food.
A Soyuz-2.1a rocket lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on Wednesday, sending the Progress MS-21 spacecraft into space.
The flight to the ISS took two days. (Xinhua/NAN)
