Summary
Progress MS-35 lifted off from Baikonur on Sept. 16 after a technical problem delayed the Russian cargo mission by a week from its original Sept. 9 launch date.
More than 2,400 kilograms of cargo is headed to Expedition 75, including 275 kilograms of food, 842 kilograms of propellant, 420 kilograms of water and 50 kilograms of oxygen.
The spacecraft entered orbit about 554 seconds after liftoff and is following a three-day, 45-orbit rendezvous for automated docking at the Poisk module on Sept. 19.
The mission also marks a switch in Russian cargo launches from the Soyuz-2-1a to the Soyuz-2-1b rocket variant, part of a broader Soyuz fleet consolidation.
If the mission proceeds as planned, Progress MS-35 will remain at the station until February 2027 before undocking for destructive reentry.
