On July 21, the Proton-M launch vehicle with the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module was launched from Baikonur, which will be delivered to the International Space Station.
Its docking with the ISS is scheduled for July 29.
The module was launched into low-earth orbit.
After the Nauka module is put into operation, the Russian segment of the ISS will receive additional volumes for the arrangement of workplaces and storage of cargo, placement of equipment for the regeneration of water and oxygen.
The astronauts will also receive a second toilet, a cabin for a third crew member and the European ERA manipulator, which will allow them to perform some work without going into outer space.
