Progress MS-01 (Russian: Прогресс МС or Прогресс МС-01), identified by NASA as Progress 62 or 62P is a Progress spacecraft used by Roskosmos to resupply the International Space Station (ISS) during 2015. It was launched on December 21, 2015, to deliver cargo to the ISS. Progress MS-1 is the first vehicle in the Progress-MS series.[6]
Launch
The launch was initially scheduled for 21 November 2015.[7] Progress MS-1 was launched on 21 December 2015 at 08:44:39 UTC[3] from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Docking
Progress MS-1 docked with the Pirs docking compartment on 23 December 2015 at 10:27 UTC.[5]
Technology
The Progress MS spacecraft has upgraded communications and electronics from previous Progress vehicles. After launch, ground controllers were able to communicate the Progress MS via a Russian Luch data relay satellite in geosynchronous orbit. This was described as the first time a Progress or Soyuz spacecraft had such capability.[8]
Other upgrades include:
- Upgraded Kurs-A rendezvous system designated Kurs-NA, including new antennas
- Upgraded flight control system that can take advantage of the GLONASS navigation satellites for the first time, for autonomous trajectory measurements
- New digital television system, which replaced an older analog TV, allowing transmission between the transport ship and the space station via onboard radio channels.
- New digital backup control unit
- Enhanced meteoroid shielding
- New LED-based lighting system
- Upgraded angular velocity sensors
- Docking port equipped with a backup electric driving mechanism
Progress MS-1 was launched on a Soyuz-2, the first launch of the rocket since the failed launch of Progress M-27M. The Soyuz-U rocket was used for subsequent Progress flights until this flight.[9]
Reentry
The upper stage reentry was visible over Arizona and Nevada on December 22 at 5:30 UTC.
