The unpiloted Roscosmos Progress 90 spacecraft is safely in orbit headed for the International Space Station following a launch at 7:22 a.m. EST (5:22 p.m. Baikonur time) Thursday, Nov. 21, on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

After a two-day in-orbit journey to the station, the spacecraft will automatically dock to the space-facing port of the orbiting laboratory's Poisk module at 9:36 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 23.

NASA's coverage of rendezvous and docking will begin at 8:45 a.m. on NASA+ and the agency's website. Learn how to watch NASA content through a variety of platforms, including social media.
