Interesting details about #ProgressMS17 mission. After its launch on June 30 and docking to #Poisk, it will be relocated to #Nauka in late October. On November 24, after the launch of #Prichal, it will depart, taking with him a docking adapter from Nauka. According to the source, this docking adapter allows the Soyuz and Progress ships to dock to Nauka, but it will interfere with the docking of Prichal, this is why Progress MS-17 should take it with him. https://ria.ru/20210502/progress-1730881164.html Thanks Nicolas Pillet for the photo.
#ProgressM-UM and #Prichal node module had been delivered to the assembly and test building on Baikonur, where the specialists will these all the systems and prepare the modified Progress ship and the module for the launch to the ISS in November 2021.
