Today, on November 21, at 15:22 Moscow time, the most family rocket will fly into space from the 31st site of the Baikonur cosmodrome. The Soyuz-2.1a rocket with the Progress MS-29 cargo ship will deliver New Year’s gifts, food and necessary equipment to the astronauts. The logo of the Year of the Family is printed on the board.
Launching a rocket with the logo of the Year of the Family means unification: as in any strong family, where everyone is an important element and leads the family ship to new heights, and the main engines of success are love, respect and support. The strength of a family is that it helps to overcome any difficulties. Without the love and support of loved ones, it is very difficult to achieve your goals. This launch is a symbol of how love and support, like powerful engines, lift people to new heights.
The launch of the family rocket from 14:35 Moscow time can be watched live on the VKontakte social network.
The spacecraft will deliver almost 2.5 tons of cargo to the International Space Station (ISS), including equipment for station systems, clothing, food, stowage for experiments “Vampire”, “Lazma”, “Fullerene” and “3D printing”.
According to Andrey Vedernikov, head of the Space Nutrition department at the Research Institute of Food Processing Industry and Special Food Technology, Progress MS-29 will deliver dried venison and horse meat, canned fish, meat and vegetables, horseradish, adjika and mustard, soups, cottage cheese, cereals, coffee, cocoa, tea drinks, as well as fresh fruits to the station and sweets. There are also New Year’s gifts for astronauts on board.
