about transport cargo vehicle Progress M-56 docking to the
International Space Station
 

April 26, 2006. Korolev, Moscow Region.

Russian cargo vehicle Progress M-56 launched on April 24, 2006 from Baikonur cosmodrome after an autonomous two-day flight in near-earth orbit docked to the International Space Station (ISS).
The vehicle rendezvous with the ISS Orbital Complex, fly-around and docking were performed in the automatic mode. The vehicle approached a free axial docking port of Russian Service Module Zvezda. At 21:41:31 Moscow time the vehicle came into contact with the docking port.
The ISS Expedition 13 crew (ISS-13) consisting of Russian cosmonaut Pavel Vinogradov (commander, test engineer of RSC Energia) and American astronaut Jeffry Williams (ISS-13 flight engineer, NASA) monitored the rendezvous and docking processes onboard the station.
The ISS Orbital Complex of about 192 t performs a near-orbit flight with the followingparameters: maximum altitude of 363.2 km, minimum altitude of 337.2 km, period of revolution of 91.3 min.
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. Sevastiyanov, President, General Designer of RSC Energia, General Director for manned space complexes and Technical Manager for flight tests, who worked at the Mission Control Center in Moscow (MCC-M).
During these operations MCC-M was attended by V.A. Grin, co-chairmen of the State Board, representatives of Roscosmos, NASA, ESA, S.P. Korolev RSC Energia, allied enterprises and organizations participating in the manufacturing, processing and launch of the Progress vehicles, as well as control of the ISS RS.
The ISS Russian Segment flight control is provided by Lead Operational Control Team of MCC-M, Korolev, Moscow region. The flight is directed by V.A. Soloviev, Vice-President, Deputy General Designer of RSC Energia. The control is performed in interaction with the US Mission Control Center in Houston (MCC-H).
Upon completion of the docking, N.N. Sevastyanov, President of RSC Energia, and  Flight Director  V.A. Soloviev answered the questions of journalists of the Russian and foreign information agencies pointing out the cargo vehicle docking features and  perspectives of  ISS program work progress, development of the new generation Russian  transport space system with  manned space vehicle Clipper  and inter-orbital tug Parom.

For reference:
Progress M-56 delivered ~ 2.6 tons of various cargoes to the station. Among them 870 kg of fuel are within the  propulsion system refuelling  tanks, 46.5 kg of gases are  in  oxygen supply  equipment bottles,  1009.4 kg of cargoes are within the  pressurized module. The last includes potable water, food, medical equipment, personal hygiene means, equipment for American Segment (253.3 kg), onboard systems and science research, means of individual and fire protection, flight-data files, parcels for the crew.
The Russian Segment of ISS is made up of Functional Cargo Module Zarya, Service Module Zvezda, docking module Pirs, transport vehicles Soyuz TMA-8, Progress M-55, Progress M-56.
The US On-Orbit Segment is made up of Modules Unity and Destiny, airlock Quest and a multi-link truss structure with deployed solar arrays.
