Progress ISS Resupply | |
Progress M-10M (Russian:Прогресс М-10М), identified byNASA asProgress 42P, is aProgress spacecraft which was launched on 27 April 2011 to resupply theInternational Space Station.[1][2] It was the tenthProgress-M 11F615A60 spacecraft to be launched, and has theserial number 410. The spacecraft was manufactured byRKK Energia, and is operated by theRussian Federal Space Agency. On 29 April 2011, it arrived at the space station's Pirs Docking Compartment duringExpedition 27.[3]
Progress M-10M lifted off from launch pad number 1 of theBaikonur cosmodrome at 13:05 UTC on 27 April 2011. Progress M-10M achieved the preliminary planned orbit after nine minutes of the launch. Onboard commands were issued to unfurl the spacecraft's communications and navigation antennas and extend two power-generating solar arrays. A series of engine firings over the next two days guided the spacecraft toward a linkup with the International Space Station (ISS).
Progress M-10M autonomously flew for two days after the launch and arrived at the ISS on 29 April 2011, successfully docking to the nadir port of thePirs at 14:19 UTC.[4] The docking occurred as the two spacecraft were traveling 354 kilometres over westernMongolia. The linkup happened just over five hours before NASA's first launch attempt of theSpace Shuttle Endeavour onSTS-134 mission. The shuttle launch was scrubbed because two heaters on one of Endeavour's auxiliary power units failed.

Progress M-10M undocked nominally at 09:04 UTC on 29 October 2011 from the nadir port of the Pirs Docking Compartment after hooks open command at 09:01 UTC. An automated 15 seconds separation burn followed at 09:07 UTC. The cargo ship, loaded with trash, performed its 3-minute deorbit burn at 12:10:30 UTC. It entered the Earth's atmosphere at 12:48 UTC and burned up at 12:54 UTC. Surviving debris impacted in thePacific Ocean at around 13:00 UTC.
With the Progress M-10M undocking, the Space Station was in a very rare configuration of having only one Russian vehicle docked (Soyuz TMA-02M atRassvet Module). The last time this situation occurred was in March 2009.
