TheProgress freight spacecraft, established by theSovietUnion and now run byRussia, is an unmanned truck developed to resupply the International Space Station (ISS). It brings materials such as food, fuel, and devices, and can likewise eliminate waste from the ISS. Progress spacecraft are released atop Soyuz rockets and have actually been a vital part of sustaining spaceport station operations given that the 1970 s.

Roscosmos
Roscosmos, formally called the Russian Federal Space Agency, is the governmental body accountable for Russia’s area science program and basic aerospace research study. Established after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Roscosmos manages all Russian area activities, consisting of satellite launches, manned and unmanned area expedition, and the advancement of brand-new area innovation. It plays an essential function in worldwide area cooperations, especially with the International Space Station.
The International Space Station is imagined from the Space X Crew Dragon Endeavour throughout a fly around of the orbiting laboratory that occurred following its undocking from the Harmony module’s space-facing port on November 8,2021 The orbital complex was flying 263 miles above the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean when this picture was taken.
