Here is a passage supporting the sentence:

"The successful launch of Progress M-34 on 6 September 1993 marked a significant milestone in the Russian space program. After a flawless countdown, the Soyuz-U rocket lifted off from Baikonur Cosmodrome, propelling the cargo spacecraft into a precise orbit. On board, the Progress M-34 carried over 2,500 kilograms of essential supplies, including food, water, and scientific equipment, destined for the Mir space station. Russian cosmonauts on board Mir eagerly awaited the arrival of the cargo, which would sustain them for the next several months. This achievement demonstrated the reliability of Russia's space technology and its commitment to space exploration."

 When the spacecraft was installed atop the Dnepr , launch was scheduled to occur on 25 February , at 13 : 57 UTC . Prior to this , a practice countdown was scheduled for 19 February . Several hours before the practice was scheduled to begin ISC Kosmotras announced that the launch had been delayed , and as a result the practice did not take place . The delay was caused by a concern that the second stage manoeuvring engines did not have a sufficient quantity of reserve fuel .

 The detonation was initially planned for 04 : 00 MWT but was postponed because of rain and lightning from early that morning . It was feared that the danger from radiation and fallout would be increased by rain , and lightning had the scientists concerned about a premature detonation . A crucial favorable weather report came in at 04 : 45 , and the final twenty @-@ minute countdown began at 05 : 10 , read by Samuel Allison . By 05 : 30 the rain had gone . There were some communication problems . The shortwave radio frequency for communicating with the B @-@ 29s was shared with the Voice of America , and the FM radios shared a frequency with a railroad freight yard in San Antonio , Texas .

 On 18 January , a problem with the computers aboard Mir developed shortly before fuelling of the Soyuz @-@ U rocket was scheduled to commence , about five and a half hours before the launch was due to occur . The launch attempt was scrubbed , or cancelled , and the launch was expected to be delayed by four or five days . On 19 January , the launch was rescheduled for 24 January , giving controllers time to restart the computer and the station 's gyroscopes , which had shut down when the computer failed .

 Preparations for the launch resumed on 22 January , and the launch occurred successfully at 04 : 28 : 42 GMT on 24 January . Following the launch , Progress M1 @-@ 5 spent three days in free flight before docking with the rear port of the Kvant @-@ 1 module of Mir at 05 : 33 : 31 GMT on 27 January . The docking port had previously been occupied by Progress M @-@ 43 , which departed at 05 : 19 : 49 on 25 January , and subsequently remained in orbit until Progress M1 @-@ 5 had docked with Mir . Progress M @-@ 43 , which had originally been launched to carry supplies and raise Mir 's orbit , in anticipation of manned flights which were never launched , was subsequently deorbited at 02 : 12 GMT on 29 January , burning up during re @-@ entry at 02 : 58 .
