Progress M-MIM2 (Russian:Прогресс М-МИМ2, alternatively transliterated asProgress M-MRM2 and originally designatedProgress M-SO2) was a specially modifiedProgress M 11F615A55 spacecraft, Russian production No. 302, which was used to deliver thePoisk (MRM 2) module to theRussian Orbital Segment of theInternational Space Station.[3] It was launched on 10 November 2009 at 14:22:04 UTC. The spacecraft consisted of a Progress M propulsion compartment, with the pressurized cargo section of the spacecraft removed to accommodatePoisk, similar to theProgress M-SO1 spacecraft which was used to deliver thePirs module to the station in 2001. This was the 126th flight of a Progress spacecraft.[3][4]
Progress M-MIM2 andPoisk were launched by aSoyuz-U carrier rocket flying fromSite 1/5 at theBaikonur Cosmodrome. The launch occurred at 14:22 GMT on 10 November 2009.[3] At launch, Progress M-MIM2 had a total mass of 7,102 kilograms (15,657 lb), including the 3,670-kilogram (8,090 lb)Poisk module.[4][5]
The spacecraft docked with the zenith port of the International Space Station'sZvezda module on 12 November. Capture occurred at 15:41 GMT,[6] and initial docking was completed successfully at 15:44.[7]
At 00:16 GMT on 8 December, Progress M-MIM2 was undocked fromPoisk, and at 04:48 GMT its engines ignited to begin a 38-second deorbit burn. Itreentered the atmosphere over thePacific Ocean at 05:27, and had broken up by 05:32.[8]
