Progress M-65 (Russian:Прогресс М-65), identified byNASA asProgress 30P, was aProgress spacecraft used to resupply theInternational Space Station. It was aProgress-M 11F615A55 spacecraft, with theserial number 365.
Progress M-65 was launched by aSoyuz-U carrier rocket fromSite 1/5 at theBaikonur Cosmodrome. Launch occurred at 19:50 UTC on 10 September 2008.[1][2]
The spacecraft docked with the aft port of theZvezda module at 18:43 UTC on 17 September 2008.[3] Docking had originally been scheduled for 21:01 GMT on 12 September 2008,[2] but was delayed afterHurricane Ike forced NASA to close theJohnson Space Center, which houses the US mission control centre for the ISS.[3] A backup facility at theMarshall Space Flight Center was used during the docking.[3] Following undocking at 16:19 UTC on 15 November 2008,[4] it conducted aPlazma-Progress experiment.[5] It was deorbited on 8 December 2008, with the 142 second deorbit burn beginning at 08:02 UTC.[4] The spacecraft burned up in the atmosphere over thePacific Ocean, with any remaining debris landing in the ocean at around 08:49 UTC.[4]
Progress M-65 carried supplies to the International Space Station, including food, water and oxygen for the crew and equipment for conducting scientific research. It also carried a newOrlan-MKspacesuit to replace one of the olderOrlan-M suits previously used forEVAs from the station.[2]
