Progress MS-33 launched successfully on March 22, 2026, at 11:59 UTC as an uncrewed cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station. The spacecraft carried approximately 2,400 kilograms of supplies and propellant, including food, water, oxygen, and fuel essential for station operations. The mission was designed to ensure adequate reserves aboard the ISS in light of potential delays to subsequent Progress deliveries, maintaining critical life support and operational capabilities.

The Soyuz-2.1a rocket lifted off from Site 31/6 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, operated by Roscosmos. The launch utilized a newly repaired launch pad, marking a significant milestone in restoring Russia's cargo launch capabilities following previous facility damage and repairs.

The mission concluded successfully with Progress MS-33 executing an automatic docking with the Zvezda module's aft port. The spacecraft became known as Progress 94 in NASA's ISS resupply nomenclature. The successful launch and docking demonstrated continued operational coordination between Roscosmos and international partners for maintaining the station's critical supply chain.
