Roscosmos cargo ship heads to International Space Station with antenna issue

KAZAKHSTAN — A NASA cargo spacecraft is on its way to the International Space Station despite a technical issue following launch.

The Roscosmos Progress 94 spacecraft launched from Kazakhstan and is now in orbit heading to the space station.

NASA says one of the cargo ship’s two automated antennas did not deploy after liftoff, but all other systems are working.

Progress is set to dock Tuesday, March 24, with Roscosmos crews ready to pilot manually if needed.

The spacecraft is bringing about three tons of food, fuel and supplies to the station.
