  "account": "The Progress 96 cargo spacecraft successfully docked to the International Space Station on Saturday at 9:44 a.m. EDT, attaching to the Poisk module's space-facing port. This spacecraft, operated by Roscosmos, was carrying approximately three tons of food, fuel, and supplies to support the Expedition 75 crew. It had launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on September 16, 2023, on a Soyuz rocket at 9:33 a.m. local time. The spacecraft is expected to remain at the station for about five months before returning to Earth in a controlled, destructive re-entry designed to dispose of its cargo. NASA and Roscosmos continue to monitor the mission and provide updates through their respective blogs and social media accounts.",
