The Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle carrying the Progress MS-32 transport spacecraft launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The logo for the 90th anniversary of the Moscow Metro was painted on its body.
The spacecraft has already successfully docked with the International Space Station. The flight proceeded as planned and became part of the station's regular resupply program, providing fuel for refueling, drinking water, fresh food, and Orlan spacesuits for the astronauts' spacewalks.
For the first time in history, Moscow's transport symbols were presented in space, marking a unique event. The collaboration between Moscow Transport and Roscosmos underscores the importance of developing high-tech industries and their contribution to the lives of city residents.
"In honor of the Moscow Metro's 90th anniversary, the anniversary logo appeared on a Roscosmos rocket for the first time in history. This unification of two industries—transport and space—symbolizes forward movement, technological advancement, and respect for the country's historical heritage," noted Maxim Liksutov.
