Progress MS-04
Progress MS-04 is the final Progress flight of 2016, keeping up a steady chain of supplies to the Russian Segment of the International Space Station. The 7,200-Kilogram spacecraft will lift off atop a Soyuz U rocket to embark on a two-day chase of ISS for an automated docking to the aft end of the Station's Zvezda Service Module. The Progress MS-04 launch will be followed by the Japanese HTV-6 mission to close out ISS logistics for 2016 on a high note.
