Progress M-38
Progress M-38 () was a Russian unmanned Progress cargo spacecraft, which was launched in March 1998 to resupply the Mir space station. Launch Progress M-38 launched on 14 March 1998 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It used a Soyuz-U rocket. Docking Progress M-38 docked with the aft port of the Kvant-1 module of Mir on 17 March 1998 at 00:31:17 UTC, and was undocked on 15 May 1998 at 18:43:54 UTC. Decay It remained in orbit until 15 May 1998, when it was deorbited. The deorbit burn occurred at 21:39:00 UTC, with the mission ending at 22:26 UTC.

Progress (spacecraft)
The Progress (russian: Прогресс) is a Russian expendable cargo spacecraft. Its purpose is to deliver the supplies needed to sustain a human presence in orbit. While it does not carry a crew, it can be boarded by astronauts when docked to a space station, hence it is classified as ''crewed'' by its manufacturer. Progress is derived from the crewed Soyuz spacecraft and launches on the same launch vehicle, a Soyuz rocket. Progress has supported space stations as early as Salyut 6 and as recently as the International Space Station (ISS). Each year there are between three and four Progress flights to the ISS. A Progress remains docked until shortly before being replaced with a new one or a Soyuz (which will use the same docking port). Then it is filled with waste, disconnected, and de-orbited, at which point it burns up in the atmosphere. Due to the variation in Progress vehicles flown to the ISS, NASA uses its own nomenclature where "ISS 1P" means the first Progress spacecra ...

Progress M-39
Progress M-39 () was a Russian unmanned Progress cargo spacecraft, which was launched in May 1998 to resupply the Mir space station. Launch Progress M-39 launched on 14 May 1998 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It used a Soyuz-U rocket. Docking Progress M-39 docked with the aft port of the Kvant-1 module of Mir on 16 May 1998 at 23:50:33 UTC, and was undocked on 12 August 1998 at 09:28:52 UTC, to make way for Soyuz TM-28. Following the redocking of Soyuz TM-28 to the Mir Core Module forward port, Progress M-39 was redocked to the Kvant-1 aft port on 1 September 1998 at 05:34:40 UTC. Progress M-39 was finally undocked on 25 October 1998 at 23:03:24 UTC. Decay It remained in orbit until 29 October 1998, when it was deorbited. The deorbit burn occurred at 03:27:00 UTC, with the mission ending at 04:14:52 UTC.

Spacecraft Launched In 1998
A spacecraft is a vehicle or machine designed to fly in outer space. A type of artificial satellite, spacecraft are used for a variety of purposes, including communications, Earth observation, meteorology, navigation, space colonization, planetary exploration, and transportation of humans and cargo. All spacecraft except single-stage-to-orbit vehicles cannot get into space on their own, and require a launch vehicle (carrier rocket). On a sub-orbital spaceflight, a space vehicle enters space and then returns to the surface without having gained sufficient energy or velocity to make a full Earth orbit. For orbital spaceflights, spacecraft enter closed orbits around the Earth or around other celestial bodies. Spacecraft used for human spaceflight carry people on board as crew or passengers from start or on orbit (space stations) only, whereas those used for robotic space missions operate either autonomously or telerobotically. Robotic spacecraft used to support scientific res ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
