Progress M-4 (Russian:Прогресс М-4) was aSoviet uncrewed cargo spacecraft which was launched in 1990 to resupply theMir space station.[2] The twenty-second of sixty fourProgress spacecraft to visit Mir, it used theProgress-M 11F615A55 configuration, and had theserial number 204.[3] It carried supplies including food, water and oxygen for theEO-7 crew aboard Mir, as well as equipment for conducting scientific research, and fuel for adjusting the station's orbit and performing manoeuvres.
Progress M-4 was launched at 04:00:41 GMT on 15 August 1990, atop aSoyuz-U2 carrier rocket flying fromSite 1/5 at theBaikonur Cosmodrome.[3] It docked with the forward port of Mir'sCore module at 05:26:13 GMT on 17 August.[4][5]
During the month for which Progress M-4 was docked, Mir was in an orbit of around 368 by 403 kilometres (199 by 218 nmi),inclined at 51.6 degrees.[1] Progress M-4 undocked from Mir at 12:42:43 GMT on 17 September, and was deorbited three days later on 20 September, with the deorbit burn starting at 11:04:27.[4] It burned up in the atmosphere over thePacific Ocean, with remaining debris landing in the ocean at around 11:42:49.[1][4]
