Progress M-MIM2 (Template:Langx, alternatively transliterated as Progress M-MRM2 and originally designated Progress M-SO2) was a specially modified Progress M 11F615A55 spacecraft, Russian production No. 302, which was used to deliver the Poisk (MRM 2) module to the Russian Orbital Segment of the International Space Station.[1] It was launched on 10 November 2009 at 14:22:04 UTC. The spacecraft consisted of a Progress M propulsion compartment, with the pressurized cargo section of the spacecraft removed to accommodate Poisk, similar to the Progress M-SO1 spacecraft which was used to deliver the Pirs module to the station in 2001. This was the 126th flight of a Progress spacecraft.[1][2]
