As planned, the Soyuz-U boosters left the launch pad at Baikonur space airport (Kazakhstan) at 0:53 (Moscow time).

It is expected that after three days, the M-21M Progress ship will reach ISS, carrying supplies for the station and the crew working here.

During this connection between the ISS and the M-21M Progress ship, Roscosmos will conduct a test of the new assembly system Kurs-NA.

Since last year's failure on the M-15M Progress ship last year, Kurs-NA has been greatly improved in terms of technical features.
