It was a Progress-M1 11F615A55 spacecraft, with the serial number 252.[1]

Progress M1-2 was launched by a Soyuz-U carrier rocket from Site 1/5 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Launch occurred at 20:08:02 GMT on 25 April 2000.[1] The spacecraft docked with the Aft port on the Kvant-1 module of Mir at 21:28:47 GMT on 27 April.[2][3] It remained docked for 171 days before undocking at 18:06 GMT on 15 October to make way for Progress M-43.[2] It was deorbited later the same day. The spacecraft burned up in the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean at around 23:29 GMT.[4][5][6]

Progress M1-2 carried supplies to Mir, including food, water and oxygen for the crew and equipment for conducting scientific research. Progress M1-2 was the first privately funded resupply mission to a space station. It was funded by RKK Energia as part of the MirCorp programme.[7] It was the last Progress spacecraft to be docked to Mir whilst a crew was present aboard the station.
