Russian logistics spacecraft. Progress took the basic Soyuz 7K-T manned ferry designed for the Salyut space station and modified it for unmanned space station resupply.

AKA: 11F615A15; 7K-TG. Status: Operational 1978. First Launch: 1978-01-20. Last Launch: 1990-05-05. Number: 43 . Thrust: 4.09 kN (919 lbf). Gross mass: 7,020 kg (15,470 lb). Unfuelled mass: 6,520 kg (14,370 lb). Specific impulse: 282 s. Height: 7.48 m (24.54 ft).

The re-entry module was deleted and replaced with a section containing propellant tanks and pumping systems for space station refueling. The orbital module was used to transport dry cargo and water to the station.

Some Progress were launched with a Soyuz Launch Escape System tower. Officially, this was to preserve proven Soyuz aerodynamics. In fact, the tower for these launches included ejection seats planned for use with the Buran spaceplane.

Orbital Storage: 30 days. Habitable Volume: 4.00 m3. Spacecraft delta v: 200 m/s (650 ft/sec).

Family: Logistics spacecraft, Space station orbit. Country: Russia. Spacecraft: Salyut 6, Progress OKD, Progress GO, Progress PAO, Salyut 7, Mir. Launch Vehicles: R-7, Soyuz-U, Soyuz-U2. Propellants: Nitric acid/Hydrazine. Launch Sites: Baikonur, Baikonur LC1, Baikonur LC31. Agency: Korolev bureau, MOM. More at: 6802, 12980. Bibliography: 2, 21, 275, 32, 6.
