Russia is scheduled to launch the autonomous Progress MS-27 cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station. It is expected to carry several thousand kilograms of cargo and consumables.
The spacecraft will launch atop a Soyuz 2.1a rocket from Site 31 at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. After reaching orbit, the spacecraft is expected to take two days to reach the ISS.
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'.
