Soyuz rocket to bring new module to ISS
Published 08 November, 2009, 18:26
The Soyuz U rocket has been installed on a launch pad in Baikonur. It will roar into the heavens in two days, carrying a valuable new module for the International Space Station.
The module called ‘Poisk’ (‘Search’ in English) will deliver scientific equipment and basic supplies, food and water to the station. After that it will be used as part of the Russian segment of the ISS.
In the module, scientific research will be conducted, and in a while it will become an additional docking port for the Station. Later on, it will serve as an airlock which will help with spacewalks.
The rocket launch is scheduled for 17.22 Moscow time on November 10.
