Progress M-MIM2 (Russian: Прогресс М-МИМ2), or Progress M-MRM2, originally designated Progress M-SO2, was a modified Progress-M 11F615A55, Russian production No. 302, which was used to deliver the Poisk module to the International Space Station.[3] It has the pressurised cargo module removed to accommodate Poisk.[4] It was similar to the Progress M-SO1 spacecraft which was used to deliver the Pirs module to the station in 2001.
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.[3] At launch, Progress M-MIM2 had a total mass of, including the 3670kg (8,090lb) Poisk module.[4] [5]
The spacecraft docked with the zenith port of the International Space Station's Zvezda 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 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.[8]
