The cargo spacecraft also carries consumables for new scientific experiments dubbed "The fullers" to grow fullerite crystals in the Nauka module.
Fullerite is a third form of carbon crystal, which is a new class of semiconductor, as well as equipment for Orbita- MG’s new scientific experiments to create a monitoring system that will find cracks and other leaks in the station’s hull.”>BORNEONEWS, Moscow – The Progress MS-26 cargo spacecraft on Saturday docked with Russia’s Zvezda service module on the International Space Station (ISS), according to a live broadcast by the Russian government’s space company Roscosmos.
