Progress ISS Resupply

Progress MS-06 (Template:Lang-ru), identified by NASA as Progress 67 or 67P, is a Progress spacecraft used by Roscosmos to resupply the International Space Station (ISS).

Launch

Progress MS-6 launched on 14 June 2017 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It used a Soyuz-2.1a rocket to get to orbit, replacing the former Soyuz-U launch system.[2][3]

Docking

Progress MS-6 was scheduled to dock with the Pirs module which it would remove from the space station, in preparation for the arrival of the Nauka module. However due to the repetitive delays with the Nauka module the plan was postponed to Progress MS-09.

Cargo

The Progress MS-6 spacecraft will carry about 2450 kg of cargo and supplies to the International Space Station. The spacecraft will deliver food, fuel and supplies, including 705 kg of propellant, 50 kg of oxygen and air, 420 kg of water.
