We have a total for four launches this week currently on the schedule, we\u2019ll see if that changes. Two of those are from SpaceX and shocking, even myself, neither are for the company\u2019s Starlink constellation. The headliner this week will be Russia\u2018s Progress MS-28 resupply mission to the ISS on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

                  What\u2019s going up to the ISS?<\/h2>\n

                  As part of its participation in the International Space Station program, Russia provides cargo services using its Progress spacecraft. The design of the spacecraft is similar to the nation\u2019s Soyuz spacecraft but does not feature the ability to survive reentry of Earth\u2019s atmosphere.<\/p>\n

                  On board will be over two and a half tons of supplies including food, science experiments, clothing, and other equipment for use on the station. Primarily the science experiments are for the Russian side of the space station and we don\u2019t have many details on what they are.<\/p>\n

                  The MS-28 Progress spacecraft is currently vertical at its launch site in Kazakhstan as of this morning. Meanwhile, its MS-26 counterpart is still docked to the Zvenda module in space. Tomorrow, Roscosmos plans to command it to undock with the station and later deorbit and burn up on reentry.<\/p>\n
