Roscosmos is expected to send the Progress MS-21 cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station to resupply the Expedition 68 crew. The spacecraft is slated to stay docked with the outpost for about six months.
The spacecraft is expected to automatically dock with the Poisk module on the Russian segment of the space station.
Launch is slated for 00:20 UTC Oct. 26. Docking should occur two days later at 02:49 UTC Oct. 28.
Orbital Velocity is designed to be "living time capsule" about the International Space Station.
This project is an attempt to bridge an information gap between space agencies and companies, as well as a public that supports space endeavors with their tax dollars. Despite the importance of the space station, the general public doesn't always know what is happening aboard this amazing complex on a regular basis. Research being conducted isn't always readily available and what information is out there can sometimes be difficult to understand. Some people aren't even aware there is an active space program, let alone a space station.
Orbital Velocity hopes to change that by building a database of information through blogs, a website, small videos and longer documentary-like series'.
