Russia has sent approximately 2.5 tons of cargo to the International Space Station.

The Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS) launched a cargo spacecraft, Progress MS-29, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, carrying about 2.5 tons of cargo to be delivered to the International Space Station (ISS).

The spacecraft, launched at 15:22 (TSI) with a Soyuz-2.1a rocket, will dock with the Russian Poisk module on the International Space Station after a flight of 50 hours and 14 minutes. It was stated that the cargo includes food and essential supplies for the cosmonauts, as well as some experimental equipment, and that the spacecraft will remain at the International Space Station for 186 days.

At the International Space Station, Russian cosmonauts Aleksey Ovchinin, Ivan Vagner, and Aleksandr Gorbunov are on duty, while NASA astronauts Nick Haig, Donald Pettit, Butch Wilmore, and Sunita Williams are also conducting work.
