At Baikonur Cosmodrome, the planned preparation of the “Progress MS-14” cargo ship for launching under the program of the 75th supply mission of the International Space Station continues.

In accordance with the schedule, specialists of the enterprises of Roscosmos State Corporation performed a set of technological operations for docking the ship with the transfer compartment of the third-stage unit of the carrier.
