The ships in storage were protected by a thermal envelope. This is the first thing to remove.
Preparations for TWO ships began simultaneously at Baikonur.
The manned Soyuz MS-27 and the Progress MS-30 cargo ship.
Personnel have already started pre-flight testing: they carried out an external inspection and initial status check of the onboard systems, and prepared the ground hardware for electrical testing of the equipment.
The next “flight” in orbit will be a cargo ship.
According to the plans, Progress MS-30 will be launched to the International Space Station on February 28 of this year.
The launch of the manned spacecraft Soyuz MS-27 is planned for spring.
It will transport cosmonauts Sergueï Ryzhikov et Alexei Zubritskyas well as their colleague from NASA Jonathan Kimvers l’ISS.
