Progress MS-33 (Russian: Прогресс МC-33), Russian production No. 463, identified by NASA as Progress 94, is a Progress cargo spacecraft mission by Roscosmos to resupply the International Space Station (ISS). It will be the 186th flight of a Progress spacecraft.
Mission
[edit]Progress MS-33 is scheduled to launch on 19 December 2025 at 23:54 UTC.[2] After a two-day free flight, it is expected to dock with the zenith (space-facing) port of the ISS's Poisk module.
Cargo
[edit]Each Progress mission delivers pressurized and unpressurized cargo to the station. The pressurized section carries consumables such as food, water, and air, along with equipment for maintenance and scientific research. The unpressurized section contains tanks of fuel, water, and gases, which are transferred to the station through automated systems.[3]
