Progress M-25M (Russian: Прогресс М-25М), identified by NASA as Progress 57P, is a Progress spacecraft used by Roskosmos to resupply the International Space Station (ISS) during 2014.[4] Progress M-25M was launched on a six-hours rendezvous profile towards the ISS. The 25th Progress-M 11F615A60 spacecraft to be launched, it had the serial number 425 and was built by RKK Energia.

Launch

[edit]

The spacecraft was launched on 29 October 2014 at 07:09:43 UTC from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.[5] This was the first time the upgraded Soyuz-2.1a rocket was used for an ISS mission launch.[6]

Docking

[edit]

Traveling about 420 kilometres (260 mi) over the Atlantic Ocean, the unpiloted ISS Progress M-25M Russian cargo ship docked at 13:08 UTC on 29 October 2014 to the Pirs Docking Compartment of the International Space Station, less than six hours after launch.

Cargo

[edit]

The Progress spacecraft carries 2351 kg of cargo and supplies to the International Space Station.[7] The craft is delivering food, fuel and supplies, including 880 kg of propellant; 22 kg of oxygen; 26 kg of air; 420 kg of water; and 1283 kg of spare parts, supplies and experiment hardware for the six members of the Expedition 41 crew currently living and working in space. Progress M-25M is scheduled to remain docked to Pirs for six months.
