Scene №1 Cosmonautics. Record-Breaking "Progress"
On July 31, 2019, the Progress M S-12 cargo ship successfully docked to the ISS. The time from launch to docking was two turns or 3 hours 19 minutes, which makes it the fastest spacecraft in the history of flights to the station.
Roscosmos is completing the run-in of a new scheme on cargo ships, but it is likely that in a few years astronauts will also get to the ISS in 3 hours.
Meanwhile, experts are working to reduce the flight time to the ISS to 1 turn.
Space is getting closer.
