On March 22, 2026, NASA will oversee the launch of the Roscosmos Progress 94 spacecraft, which is tasked with delivering approximately three tons of essential supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). The launch is scheduled for 7:59 a.m. EDT from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, utilizing a Soyuz rocket for the journey.

This mission is critical as it carries food, fuel, and various supplies necessary for the Expedition 73 crew aboard the ISS. The spacecraft, which is unpiloted, will autonomously dock at the ISS’s Poisk module after a two-day orbital commute. Docking procedures are expected to commence at approximately 9:34 a.m. on March 24, with live coverage provided by NASA across multiple platforms, including NASA+, Amazon Prime, and YouTube starting at 8:45 a.m.

The Progress 94 is set to remain attached to the space station for about six months. After fulfilling its mission of resupply, it will depart and re-enter Earth’s atmosphere for a controlled, destructive descent to dispose of onboard waste. This event marks a continuation of over 25 years of human presence in space, during which the ISS has been pivotal in advancing scientific knowledge and preparing for future manned missions to the Moon and Mars. More details about the ISS and its endeavors can be accessed through NASA’s official website.
