The
Progress M1-3 flight included 1559 kg of propellant, much of which
was transferred to Zvezda to fill its tanks (which were partially
depleted during maneuvers to rendezvous and dock with the
station). The remainder of the propellant was used by the
Progress to reboost the station to a higher orbit. Other equipment
aboard this Progress cargo flight, totaling 875 kg, includes a
carbon dioxide removal system, components for Zvezda's oxygen
generation system, parts for the station's toilet, two IBM
ThinkPad computers and other electrical gear. The spacecraft also
carries clothing, tools, brackets, myriad nuts and bolts, food
preparation equipment, air purification systems, television and
communications gear and components of other life support systems.
One of the tasks of the Atlantis mission in September will be to
offload the Progress vehicle to make way for a second Progress
later this fall.
The Progress M1-3 undocked from the
International Space Station at 0405 UTC on November 1. Reentry was
expected at 0742 UTC over the South Pacific at 17°S and 160°W.
