Progress M-11(Russian:Прогресс М-11) was a Russian uncrewed cargo spacecraft which was launched in 1992 to resupply theMirspace station.[2]The twenty-ninth of sixty fourProgressspacecraft to visit Mir, it used theProgress-M11F615A55 configuration,[3]and had theserial number212.[4]It carried supplies including food, water and oxygen for theEO-10crew aboard Mir, as well as equipment for conducting scientific research, and fuel for adjusting the station's orbit and performing manoeuvres. It was the first spacecraft to visit Mir following thedissolution of the Soviet Union.
Progress M-11 was launched at 07:50:16 GMT on 25 January 1992, atop aSoyuz-U2carrier rocket flying fromSite 1/5at theBaikonur Cosmodrome.[4]Following two days of free flight, it docked with the Forward port of Mir'score moduleat 09:30:43 GMT on 27 January.[5][6]
During the 46 days for which Progress M-11 was docked, Mir was in an orbit of around 375 by 393 kilometres (202 by 212 nmi),inclinedat 51.6 degrees.[1]Progress M-11 undocked from Mir at 08:43:40 GMT on 13 March, and was deorbited few hours later, to a destructivereentryover thePacific Oceanat around 15:47.[1][5]
