An uncrewed Roscosmos Progress 86 spacecraft arrived at the International Space Station’s Poisk module at 6:18 a.m. EST on Dec. 3, 2023. The spacecraft launched on a Soyuz rocket at 4:25 a.m. EST Friday, Dec. 1, 2023, (2:25 p.m. Baikonur time) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko manually docked the spacecraft to the orbital complex after the automated rendezvous system took Progress out of its expected orientation.

Progress is delivering almost three tons of food, fuel and supplies to the International Space Station for the Expedition 70 crew.
