Progress 95 Cargo Craft Prepares for Launch to Resupply International Space Station

Progress 95 Cargo Craft Prepares for Launch to Resupply International Space Station

The Progress 95 cargo craft is set to launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, carrying approximately three tons of food, fuel, and supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). Scheduled for launch at 6:21 p.m. EDT, the unpiloted spacecraft will embark on a two-day journey to dock with the ISS's Zvezda module. This mission is part of the ongoing efforts to support the Expedition 74 crew aboard the space station. NASA is providing live coverage of the launch and docking through various platforms, including NASA+, Amazon Prime, and YouTube.

NASA Develops IV Fluid Generation System for Space Missions to Address Medical Needs

NASA Develops IV Fluid Generation System for Space Missions to Address Medical Needs

NASA has developed a new technology called the IntraVenous Fluid GENeration Miniaturized (IVGEN Mini) system, designed to produce medical-grade IV fluid in space. This system was sent to the International Space Station (ISS) on April 11, 2026, aboard the Northrop Grumman Commercial Resupply Services 24 mission. The IVGEN Mini system transforms drinking water on the ISS into IV fluid by filtering it and adding sodium chloride. This innovation addresses the challenge of the limited shelf life of prepackaged IV fluids, which is currently 16 months, making it unsuitable for long-duration space missions. The system is set to undergo testing on the ISS to ensure it functions correctly in space conditions.
