Today, November 21, at 14:35 Moscow time, the most "family-oriented" expedition will embark on its journey into space. The Soyuz-2.1a rocket, carrying the Progress MS-29 cargo spacecraft adorned with the Year of the Family logo, will deliver New Year gifts, food supplies, and equipment to the cosmonauts. The launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome will be broadcast on the outdoor screen of the National Centre RUSSIA.

It is worth noting that the Year of the Family was inaugurated by President Vladimir Putin during the RUSSIA EXPO. The President emphasized that strengthening the well-being of families is a national priority for years to come.

The expedition launch is part of the 90th mission to supply the International Space Station. The rocket will lift off from the launch complex of Pad 31 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The expedition will deliver two tons of cargo to the ISS, including equipment and supplies for station systems, clothing, food, and kits for experiments such as "Vampire," "Lazma," "Fullerene," and "3D Printing."

The Year of the Family logo on the rocket symbolizes unity and cohesion. In space, as in any strong family, everyone plays a unique role and contributes to the shared "ship" reaching new and joyous coasts.

In addition to the National Centre RUSSIA, the launch of the "family" rocket can also be watched live on the VK video platform.
