Progress ISS Resupply
 

Progress MS-23 (Russian: Прогресс МC-23), Russian production No.453, identified by NASA as Progress 84P, is a Progress spaceflight launched by Roscosmos to resupply the International Space Station (ISS). It is the 176th flight of a Progress spacecraft.

History

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:[1][2][3][4]

  • 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.
  • Enhanced redundancy thanks to the addition of a backup system of electrical motors for the docking and sealing mechanism.
  • Improved Micrometeoroid (MMOD) protection with additional panels in the cargo compartment.
  • Luch Russian relay satellites link capabilities enable telemetry and control even when not in direct view of ground radio stations.
  • GNSS autonomous navigation enables real time determination of the status vector and orbital parameters dispensing with the need of ground station orbit determination.
  • 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.
  • Unified Command Telemetry System (UCTS) replaces previous Ukraine Chezara Kvant-V as the Progress spacecraft's on-board radio and antenna/feeder system.
  • Replacement of the Kurs A with Kurs NA digital system.

Launch

A Soyuz-2.1a with Progress MS-23 to the International Space Station from Baikonur Site 31 launched on 24 May 2023 at 12:56 UTC[5][6][7][8][9] supporting Expedition 69 and Expedition 70 missions aboard the ISS. It docked the same day.[9]

Cargo

The MS-23 cargo capacity is approximately 2,500 kg (5,500 lb) as follows:[9][10]

  • Dry cargo: 1,290 kg (2,840 lb)
  • Fuel: 499 kg (1,100 lb)–600 kg (1,300 lb)
  • Oxygen: 40 kg (88 lb)
  • Water: 630 kg (1,390 lb)
