The spacecraft docked with the Pirs module at 08:14 UTC on 26 December 2007.[2] The Pirs module had previously been occupied by Progress M-61, which undocked on 22 December 2007.[3] Progress M-62 remained docked for 40 days before undocking at 10:32 UTC on 4 February 2008.[4] Following undocking it conducted Earth observation experiments for eleven days prior to being deorbited. It was deorbited at 09:44 UTC on 15 February 2008.[4] The spacecraft burned up in the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean, with any remaining debris landing in the ocean at around 13:29 UTC.[4] [5]
Progress M-62 carried supplies to the International Space Station, including food, water and oxygen for the crew and equipment for conducting scientific research. It carried over of propellant, of oxygen and of dry cargo. The total mass of the cargo carried was .[3]
