🛰 November 20 marks the 25th anniversary of launching construction of the International Space Station (ISS) in near-Earth orbit

🚀 A quarter of a century ago, a Proton-K rocket launched its first element, the Zarya (Dawn) functional cargo module, which remains a part of the station’s Russian segment to this day.

The ISS remains the largest multi-national project in the field of space exploration. The capabilities of this unique research laboratory make it possible to pursue a wide range of applied science objectives in the interests of all humankind.

☝️ The experience gained by 🇷🇺 specialists during the successful operation of the ISS over the years provides a solid foundation for further expanding mutually beneficial and equitable cooperation in outer space with all the interested partners.

🚀 A Russian Soyuz 2.1a rocket carrying the Progress MS-26 cargo spacecraft, which will deliver more than 2.5 tonnes worth of cargo to the International Space Station (ISS), blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome.

Nine minutes after the liftoff, the rocket put the spacecraft into Earth orbit, and the Progress spacecraft separated from the rocket's third stage and began its independent flight to the ISS.

🇷🇺 new space freighter will fly the traditional two-day route and is scheduled to dock the station on February 17 at 9:12 a.m. Moscow time (06:12 GMT). The spacecraft will spend a total of 180 days in space.

🛰 The space freighter inter alia carries consumables for the new scientific experiment dubbed "Fullerene" to grow fullerite crystals in the Nauka module — the third crystalline form of carbon, which is a new class of semiconductors.

Progress MS-26 will also carry equipment for the new scientific experiment Orbita-MG to create a monitoring system that will find cracks and other leaks in the station's hull.
