The uncrewed Roscosmos ISS Progress 86 cargo spacecraft launched to the International Space Station from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan Dec. 1 on a Soyuz booster rocket. Progress is filled with almost three tons of supplies and cargo and docked to the Poisk module after a two-orbit rendezvous.
