Interesting threads
#ProgressMS36 cargo spacecraft will dock on November 26 to the #Rassvet module. Presumably From December 2026 to February 2027, it will be re-docked to the #Zvezda module.
The leak appeared the transfer chamber which leads from the living area of the Zvezda module to the aft docking port, about 5 years ago. After multiple tries to find and seal the microcracks, Roscosmos reported in June 2025 that the leak was completely sealed.
But the leak continued. Now "under a pressure by NASA" Roscosmos decided to give up and seal it. The #Progress ships will provide a double docking: frist one - to one of the other docking ports to unload cargo, then the second one - to the aft port of Zvezda to boost the station.
I'm glad this will never happen. By choosing this plot, they completely negated the hardest choice Shepard made in ME3. Whatever you sacrificed, whatever you fought for - in this game they tried to make it mean nothing. Thank gods they haven't ruined ME like they did with DA.
I can finally talk about Mass Effect Universe.
Since Bioware closed I can now reveal that I was part of the Mass Effect Council, saw what BioWare was building, and provided feedback during development.
• Set 600+ years after the Reaper War
• You play as a customizable N7 agent
• Instead of being a walking gun rack, you're a cross between John Wick and James Bond
• Shepard's legacy preserved, regardless of your ending
• A galaxy divided into three major factions
• Humanity, Krogan, Batarians, and more allied together
• Council races forming their own alliance
• The Geth emerging as a third superpower
• A galactic Cold War instead of another Reaper style invasion with a shadowy adversary
• Geth-built megastructures
• Connections between the Milky Way and Andromeda
• Experimental technology implanted in you as a unique point of difference
• Hacking and manipulating the environment
• See through walls, identify systems, remotely trigger hazards and more
• Handcrafted missions like ME1-3
• But with Hitman-style freedom in how you complete them
• Brutal close-range executions
• Squadmates who can clash with each other
• Romance wasn't being sanitised
• Liara returns - now an incredibly powerful Asari Matriarch
From what I saw, BioWare was making Mass Effect for us, the fans, not for people who don't exist.
It looked incredible.
And now we may never get to play it.

Goodbye, @bioware! I will remember your best games and all what they gave to me: deep emotions, funny and sad moments, and the best fandom ever. Mass Effect inspired my interest in space exploration, and was a reason to start this blog. Thank you for everything!
Contact and capture! #ProgressMS25 is now docked to the Poisk module.
#ProgressMS35 is ready for docking to the Poisk module of the #ISS. The docking is expected to happen at 13:47 UTC
#Soyuz2.1b with #ProgressMS35 cargo spacecraft launched today at 13:34 UTC. Docking to the Poisk module is scheduled for September 19, 13:47 UTC. It has 1177 t of cargo on board, 842 kg of fuel, 420 kg of water and 50 kg of oxygen.

#ProgressMS33 cargo spacecraft undocked from the Poisk module at 15:16 UTC. At 18:27 it will perform the deorbit maneuver and will burn up over the Pacific Ocean.
According to the sources, Soyuz 2.1b (yes, it's "b" modification this time instead if the usual "a") launch with #ProgressMS35 cargo spacecraft will be postponed for about a week due to some issue with the third stage.
They say, the launch of #ProgressMS35 has been delayed, the #Soyuz2.1a launch vehicle will be rolled back to the assembly hall. Yesterday it has been rolled out to the launch pad, the launch itself was scheduled for September 9, 16:15 UTC.
Fantastic launch of Falcon Heavy and Roman Space Telescope! This is what rockets should be used for!
Undocking complete! #SoyuzMS28 with Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, Sergey Mikayev and Christopher Williams undocked from the Rassvet module at 07:03 UTC. The landing is expected to happen at 10:26 UTC in Kazakhstan. Have a safe flight, guys!
I wasn’t here yesterday to cover the launch and docking of #SoyuzMS29 (too much work, aargh!), but I brought you amazing photos by Ivan Timoshenko! Congratulations to Pyotr Dobrov, Anna Kikina and Anil Menon @astro_anil with the arrival to the ISS! Great work, launch team!
