	Progress cargo ship
		The Progress M1-9 undocked from the ISS and was deorbited on February 1, 2003.
		The spacecraft was carrying several tons of supplies to the station, including water, which became the most precious commodity onboard the outpost, after the Shuttle fleet was grounded by the Columbia accident on February 1, 2003.
		In the meantime, the Progress M1-10, which arrived to the station in June 2003, is scheduled to undock from the station's Pirs Docking Compartment on September 4, 2003, making it available for the arrival of the Soyuz TMA-3 spacecraft in October 2003.

	Progress M - Russia and Piloted Space Missions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Progress M (maiden flight in August, 1989) is a "modernized" version of the original Progress cargo freighter (1978-1990) which flew 43 times (including Kosmos 1669) without a docking failure.
		Progress M was originally rated for 30 days independent flight and up to 180 days attached to Mir.
		Although Progress M spacecraft are destroyed during reentry, beginning in 1990 (Progress M5) a small Raduga recoverable capsule (payload capacity of 150 kg) has been used on about every other mission (References 87, 89-95).

	1993 - Russia and Piloted Space Missions
		Progress M-18 docked with the Mir forward port on 24 May while Progress M-17 remained attached to Kvant 1, thus marking the first time that two Progress spacecraft had ever been docked to a Soviet/Russian space station simultaneously.
		Progress M-18 then continued in independent flight for another day before returning to Earth in a destructive reentry, but not before releasing its small Raduga capsule which retrieved intact in the designated recover region in Russia (References 143, 148-149).
		Progress M-17 was maneuvered into an orbit 18km below Mir on 12 August, the day Progress M-19 docked with the space station, and was allowed to decay naturally during the remainder of the year (References 153-155).

	Having Too Much and Too Little Oxygen and water on the International Space Station
		In one case, half of the oxygen being delivered to the ISS was dumped into the Pacific Ocean when these Progress spacecraft later reentered the Earth's atmosphere.
		According to the current way that the ISS and Progress spacecraft, which resupply it, are designed this oxygen oversupply could not be kept on board as a reserve.
		After a Progress docks with the ISS, supply lines are activated and high pressure tanks located external to the spacecraft are emptied into the habitable volume of the ISS.

		A detailed history of the Progress spacecraft, with photographs and specifics of various models and recent launches is here.
		Launch, with its associated acoustic and vibrational loads, is the most significant driver on the structural design of spacecraft, which spend most of their lives in the relatively benign state of freefall.
		One of the three rate gyros failed, and as a precautionary measure, NASA decided to deorbit the spacecraft ahead of schedule due to concerns that if another gyro failed, the attitude control system might not be able to control pointing accurately enough for the reentry burns.
