Progress M-10
Template:Infobox spaceflight Progress M-10 (Template:Langx) was a Soviet and subsequently Russian uncrewed cargo spacecraft which was launched in 1991 to resupply the Mir space station.[1] The 28th of 64 Progress spacecraft to visit Mir, it used the Progress-M 11F615A55 configuration,[2] and had the serial number 211.[3] It carried supplies including food, water, and oxygen for the EO-10 crew aboard Mir, as well as equipment for conducting scientific research, and fuel for adjusting the station's orbit and performing manoeuvres. It carried the fourth VBK-Raduga capsule, which was used to return experiment results and equipment to Earth when the Progress was deorbited.
Progress M-10 was launched at 00:05:25 GMT on 17 October 1991, atop a Soyuz-U2 carrier rocket flying from Site 1/5 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome.[3] Following four days of free flight, it docked with the forward port of the core module on the second attempt, at 03:40:50 GMT on 21 October.[4] The first attempt had been aborted by the Progress' onboard computer when the spacecraft was Script error: No such module "convert". away from the station.[5]
During the 91 days for which Progress M-10 was docked, Mir was in an orbit of around Script error: No such module "convert"., inclined at 51.6 degrees.[6] It was launched by the Soviet Union, which was dissolved in December 1991, and along with most aspects of the Soviet space programme, Progress M-10 was inherited by Russia. It undocked from Mir at 07:13:44 GMT on 20 January 1992, and was deorbited few hours later to a destructive reentry over the Pacific Ocean.[6] The Raduga capsule landed at 12:03:30 GMT.[4]
