Progress MS-35 (Russian: Прогресс МC-35), Russian production No. 463, identified by NASA as Progress 96, is a Progress cargo spacecraft mission by Roscosmos to resupply the International Space Station (ISS) launched in September 2026.[4]
Cargo
[edit]Each Progress mission delivers pressurized and unpressurized cargo to the station. The pressurized section carries consumables such as food, along with equipment for maintenance and scientific research. The unpressurized section contains tanks of fuel, drinking water, and gases to replenish the onboard atmosphere, which are transferred to the station through automated systems.[5] Progress MS-35 carries 2,600 kg of cargo.[6]
