MOSCOW, December 3. /TASS/. Russia’s Progress MS-25 space freighter, launched from the Baikonur space center on Friday, will dock with the International Space Station (ISS) on Sunday, delivering tangerines, new Year Presents for the crew and other cargo.

The rocket is decorated with depictions devoted to the 35th anniversary of the flight by a Buran reusable space shuttle and the centenary of the birth of First Head of the USSR Defense Ministry’s Main Space Systems Department Alexander Maksimov, the decade of science and technology and the Games of the Future tournament.

The space freighter will also bring a trophy of the Games of the Future tournament to the orbital outpost. The trophy will return to Earth in 2024 and will be presented at the tournament.
