Progress DC-1 (Originally designated Progress SO1) was a modified Progress 11F615A55, Russian production No. 301, used to deliver the Pirs module to the International Space Station.[1] It has the pressurised cargo module removed to accommodate Pirs.[2]

Launch

Progress DC-1 was launched by a Soyuz-U carrier rocket from Site 1/5 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Launch occurred at 23:34:55 UTC on 14 September 2001.[2]

Docking

The spacecraft docked with the nadir port of the Zvezda module at 01:05 UTC on 17 September 2001.[3] It remained docked for nine days

Undocking and Decay

On 26 September 2001 at 15:36 UTC it was jettisoned from Pirs. It was deorbited at 23:30 UTC on the same day, and burned up in the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean, with any remaining debris landing in the ocean at around 00:01 UTC on 27 September 2001.[4]
