Upon completion of the nominal flight program in near-earth orbit Russian cargo vehicle Progress M-54 launched on September 8, 2005 from Baikonur cosmodrome docked to the International Space Station (ISS).
The vehicle rendezvous with the ISS Orbital Complex, fly-about and docking were performed in the automatic mode. The vehicle approached a free axial docking port of Russian Service Module Zvezda. At 18:42:04 Moscow time the vehicle came into contact with the docking port. The vehicle berthing and docking were conducted in the Russian ground site coverage.
The Expedition crew 11 (ISS-11) consisting of Sergey Krikalev (commander, test cosmonaut of RSC Energia) and John Fillips (flight engineer, NASA astronaut) monitored the approach and docking processes onboard the station.
Progress M-54 delivered 2,4 tons of various cargoes, including 610 kg of propellant to resupply the ISS propulsion system, 110 kg of oxygen, 393 kg of foodstuff, 210 kg of potable water, 341 kg of water and air regeneration system hardware, 27 kg of hardware to support scientific investigations. Seventy-four kilograms of cargo were designed for the US Segment.
The crew will have to unload the vehicle and accommodate the delivered cargoes on the Station, and stow the wasted materials and equipment to the vehicle.
The ISS Orbital Complex of about 186.4 tons performs a near-orbit flight with the following parameters: maximum altitude of 369.4 km, minimum altitude of 349.8 km, period of revolution of 91.4 min.
The Russian Segment is made up of the Functional Cargo Module Zarya, Service Module Zvezda, docking module Pirs, transport vehicles Soyuz TMA-6 and Progress M-54.
The US On-Orbit Segment is made up of modules Unity and Destiny, airlock Quest and multi-link truss structure with deployed solar arrays.
The vehicles and Station modules onboard systems operate in a design mode.
The final flight operations during the vehicle rendezvous and docking to the station were conducted under control of N.N. Sevastyanov, President, General Designer of RSC Energia, who worked in the MCC-M control room.
During these operations MCC-M was attended by N.F. Moiseev and V.A. Grin, co-chairmen of the State Board, responsible representatives of the Federal Space Agency, NASA, S.P. Korolev RSC Energia, allied enterprises and organizations participating in the manufacturing, processing and launch of Progress vehicles, as well as control of the ISS RS.
The ISS flight is under control of the Lead Operational Control Team (LOCT) of the Mission Control Center in Moscow (MCC-M), Korolev, Moscow region (flight is directed by V.A. Soloviev, Vice-president, Deputy General Designer of RSC Energia, pilot-cosmonaut). The control is provided in interaction with the US Mission Control Center in Houston (MCC-H).
Upon completion of the docking, N.N. Sevastyanov, President of RSC Energia answered the questions of journalists of the Russian and foreign information agencies and TV companies.
