Progress MS-28 (Russian: Прогресс МC-28), Russian production No. 458, identified by NASA as Progress 89, is a Progress spaceflight launched by Roscosmos to resupply the International Space Station (ISS). It is the 181st flight of a Progress spacecraft.
Launch
[edit]Launched from Site 31/6 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan atop a Soyuz-2.1a on Thursday, 15 August 2024, at 03:20:17 UTC (08:20:17 AQTT, local time at the launch site). Progress MS-28 will deliver approximately 2,621 kg (5,778 lb) of food, water, clothing, fuel, and equipment to the ISS for the Expedition 71 and to prepare the station for the Expedition 72 crew.
The spacecraft is set to autonomously rendezvous and dock with the ISS on Saturday, 17 August 2024, at 05:56 UTC. It will attach to the aft port of the Zvezda service module, replacing the Progress MS-26 spacecraft that was previously at this location.
Cargo
[edit]The MS-28 cargo capacity is 2,621 kg (5,778 lb) as follows:[3][4][5][6][1]
- Dry cargo: 1,201 kg (2,648 lb)
- Fuel: 950 kg (2,090 lb)
- Water: 420 kg (930 lb)
- Nitrogen: 50 kg (110 lb)
Dry cargo mainly includes spare and modernization parts for the systems of the Russian Orbital Segment, repair tools, medical equipment, hygiene, food supplies, cargo for the crew (mail, personal items, etc.) and scientific equipment (scientific equipment and material for experiments and research carried out by the crew on board).[3][7][8][9]
