Progress M-13(Russian:Прогресс М-13) was a Russian uncrewed cargo spacecraft which was launched in 1992 to resupply theMirspace station.[2]The thirty-first of sixty fourProgressspacecraft to visit Mir, it used theProgress-M11F615A55 configuration,[3]and had theserial number214.[4]It carried supplies including food, water and oxygen for theEO-11crew aboard Mir, as well as equipment for conducting scientific research, and fuel for adjusting the station's orbit and performing manoeuvres.
Progress M-13 was launched at 16:43:13 GMT on 30 June 1992, atop aSoyuz-U2carrier rocket flying fromSite 31/6at theBaikonur Cosmodrome.[4]Following four days of free flight, it docked with the Forward port of Mir'score moduleat 12:38 GMT on 4 July.[5]An earlier docking attempt on 2 July had been unsuccessful.[6]During the 19 days for which Progress M-13 was docked, Mir was in an orbit of around 387 by 410 kilometres (209 by 221 nmi),inclinedat 51.6 degrees.[1]Progress M-13 undocked from Mir at 04:14:00 GMT on 24 July to make way forSoyuz TM-15,and was deorbited few hours later, to a destructivereentryover thePacific Oceanat around 08:03:35.[1][5]
