Progress M-MIM2 (alternatively transliterated as Progress M-MRM2 and originally designated Progress M-SO2) was a specially modified Progress M 11F615A55 spacecraft, Russian production No. 302, which was used to deliver the Poisk (MRM 2) module to the Russian Orbital Segment of the International 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 accommodate Poisk, similar to the Progress M-SO1 spacecraft which was used to deliver the Pirs module to the station in 2001. This was the 126th flight of a Progress spacecraft.[4] [5]
Progress M-MIM2 and Poisk were launched by a Soyuz-U carrier rocket flying from Site 1/5 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The launch occurred at 14:22 GMT on 10 November 2009. At launch, Progress M-MIM2 had a total mass of, including the 3670kg (8,090lb) Poisk module.[6]
The spacecraft docked with the zenith port of the International Space Station's Zvezda module on 12 November. Capture occurred at 15:41 GMT,[7] and initial docking was completed successfully at 15:44.[8]
At 00:16 GMT on 8 December, Progress M-MIM2 was undocked from Poisk, and at 04:48 GMT its engines ignited to begin a 38-second deorbit burn. It reentered the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean at 05:27, and had broken up by 05:32.[9]
