Russian Progress 94 Cargo Spacecraft Arrival | International Space Station
The Russian Progress 94 cargo spacecraft from Roscosmos, packed with about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the Expedition 74 crew, approaches the International Space Station while soaring into an orbital sunset 267 miles above the Russia–Mongolia border.
The Russian Progress 94 cargo spacecraft, loaded with nearly three tons of food, fuel, and supplies, nears the International Space Station ahead of its docking on March 24, 2026.
The Progress 94 cargo spacecraft from Roscosmos, packed with about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the Expedition 74 crew, approaches the International Space Station for a docking to the Poisk module.
The Progress 94 cargo spacecraft from Roscosmos, packed with about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the Expedition 74 crew, is pictured shortly after docking to the International Space Station's Poisk module. The orbital outpost was soaring 265 miles above the Democratic Republic of the Congo at the time of this photograph.
A new spacecraft arrived at the International Space Station on March 16, 2026, carrying 2,509 kilograms of cargo. The cargo included everything necessary for living and working in space. The uncrewed Roscosmos Progress 94 spacecraft docked at the space-facing port of the International Space Station’s Poisk module at 9:40 a.m. EDT Tuesday, March 17, 2026.
Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov manually piloted the spacecraft during docking using the Telerobotically Operated Rendezvous System (TORU) control panel inside the space station’s Zvezda Service Module after one of the spacecraft’s two KURS automated rendezvous antennas failed to deploy after launch.
The spacecraft delivered about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the Expedition 74 crew. It will remain docked to the orbiting laboratory for about six months before departing for a planned destructive re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere to dispose of trash loaded by the crew.
It launched at 7:59 a.m. (4:59 p.m. Baikonur time) March 22, 2026, on a Russian Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
