Progress ISS Resupply |
Progress MS-27 (Russian: Прогресс МC-27), Russian production No.457, identified by NASA as Progress 88P, is a Progress spaceflight launched by Roscosmos to resupply the International Space Station (ISS).[10][11][12][13] It is the 180th flight of a Progress spacecraft.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]
History
[edit]The Progress-MS is an uncrewed freighter based on the Progress-M featuring improved avionics. This improved variant first launched on 21 December 2015. It has the following improvements:[23][24][25]
- New external compartment that enables it to deploy satellites. Each compartment can hold up to four launch containers. First time installed on Progress MS-03.[23][24][25]
- Enhanced redundancy thanks to the addition of a backup system of electrical motors for the docking and sealing mechanism.[23][24][25]
- Improved Micrometeoroid (MMOD) protection with additional panels in the cargo compartment.[23][24][25]
- Luch Russian relay satellites link capabilities enable telemetry and control even when not in direct view of ground radio stations.[23][24][25]
- GNSS autonomous navigation enables real time determination of the status vector and orbital parameters dispensing with the need of ground station orbit determination.[23][24][25]
- Real time relative navigation thanks to direct radio data exchange capabilities with the space station.
- New digital radio that enables enhanced TV camera view for the docking operations.[23][24][25]
- Unified Command Telemetry System (UCTS) replaces previous Ukrainian Chezara Kvant-V as the Progress spacecraft's on-board radio and antenna/feeder system.[23][24][25]
- Replacement of the Kurs A with Kurs NA digital system.[23][24][25]
Launch
[edit]A Soyuz-2.1a launched Progress MS-27 to the International Space Station from Baikonur Site 31/6 on 30 May 2024, 09:42 UTC.[26][27][28][29][30] Later, Progress MS-27 will automatically dock with Poisk and continues its mission tentative 1 June 2024 at 11:47 UTC, supporting Expedition 71 aboard the ISS.[31][32][27][33][34][35]
Cargo
[edit]The MS-27 cargo capacity is 2,504 kg (5,520 lb) as follows:[8][9][36]
- Dry cargo: 1,290 kg (2,840 lb)[8][9]
- Fuel: 754 kg (1,662 lb)[8][9]
- Water: 420 kg (930 lb)[8][9]
- Nirogen: 40 kg (88 lb)[8][9]
