Russia’s Progress MS-17 space freighter was launched atop the Soyuz-2.1a carrier rocket early on Wednesday, from Launch Pad 31 of the Baikonur space center in Kazakhstan.

The blastoff took place at 02:27 Moscow time. This is the second launch of a Russian space freighter to the International Space Station this year.

The spacecraft reached the orbit approximately nine minutes after the launch, separating from the launch vehicle’s third stage and beginning an autonomous flight to the International Space Station (ISS).

The space freighter’s flight to the ISS will be carried out under the two-day scheme. The docking is scheduled for approximately 04:02 Moscow time on July 2.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
