NASA's Space to Ground: A Greener Space | Week of Aug. 16, 2024

NASA's Space to Ground is your weekly update on what's happening aboard the International Space Station. A Russian cargo craft is orbiting Earth packed with nearly three tons of cargo to resupply the International Space Station. 

The Roscosmos Progress 89 space freighter launched at 11:20 p.m. EDT on Wednesday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan beginning a two-day space delivery to the orbital outpost. Cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub will be on duty monitoring Progress when it completes its automated approach and docking 1:56 a.m. on Saturday. Progress will remain docked to the aft port of the Zvezda service module for six months of cargo operations.
