Progress M-20M docked with thePirs docking compartment on 28 July 2013 at 02:26 UTC, less than six hours after launch.[5]
Some last minute items were added to the Progress to assist the station astronauts with figuring out why the cooling system on one of the American spacesuits sprung a leak and caused a spacewalk to be aborted the previous week.
