Progress MS-15 (Russian:Прогресс МC-15), Russian production No. 444, identified byNASA asProgress 76P, was aProgress spaceflight operated byRoscosmos to resupply theInternational Space Station (ISS). This was the 167th flight of a Progress spacecraft.[5]
TheProgress-MS is an uncrewed freighter based on theProgress-M featuring improved avionics. This improved variant first launched on 21 December 2015. It has the following improvements:[5][6][7]
ASoyuz-2.1a launch vehicle was used to launch Progress MS-15 to the International Space Station. Progress MS-15 was launched at 14:26:21 UTC fromBaikonur Cosmodrome Site 31 on a fast-track trajectory. Following a nominal launch, Progress MS-15 docked with thePirs port on the ISS two orbits later at 17:45:00 UTC.[3][8]
Around 3 hours 20 minutes after the launch, Progress MS-15 successfully docked automatically at thenadir port of thePirs module at 17:45:00 UTC,[3][8][9] where it remained until February 2021.[4] After its mission was completed, Progress MS-15 departed andre-entered theEarth's atmosphere for destruction over theSouth Pacific Ocean.[4]
The Progress MS-15 spacecraft delivered 2,540 kg (5,600 lb) of cargo, with 1,430 kg (3,150 lb) of this being dry cargo. The following is a breakdown of cargo bound for the ISS:[1]
The Progress MS-15 remained docked at the station through on 9 February 2021, when it departed with trash and re-entered theEarth's atmosphere for destruction over theSouth Pacific Ocean.[4] ThePirs module, originally scheduled to be removed and discarded at the end of this mission,[10][11] will stay attached to the station until the arrival of theNauka module.
