Progress M-5(Russian:Прогресс М-5) was aSovietuncrewed cargo spacecraft which was launched in 1990 to resupply theMirspace station.[2]The twenty-third of sixty fourProgressspacecraft to visit Mir, it used theProgress-M11F615A55 configuration, and had theserial number206.[3]It carried supplies including food, water and oxygen for theEO-7crew 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 of ten Progress flights to carry aVBK-Radugacapsule, which was recovered after the flight.[4]
Progress M-5 was launched at 10:37:42 GMT on 27 September 1990, atop aSoyuz-U2carrier rocket flying fromSite 1/5at theBaikonur Cosmodrome.[3]Following two days of free flight, it docked with the forward docking port of thecore moduleat 12:26:50 GMT on 29 September.[5][6]
During the 59 days for which Progress M-5 was docked, Mir was in an orbit of around 370 by 411 kilometres (200 by 222 nmi),inclinedat 51.6 degrees.[1]Progress M-5 undocked from Mir at 06:15:46 GMT on 28 November, and was deorbited a few hours later at 10:24:28.[5]It burned up in the atmosphere over thePacific Ocean,with any remaining debris landing in the ocean.[1][5]The Raduga capsule returned to Earth by parachute, and landed inRussiaat 11:04:05 GMT.
