Descripción : Launch of the Progress M-63 cargo ship to the ISS. An automated version of Soyuz, known as Progress-M, was developed to carry propellant and cargo to the Salyut and Mir space stations and it will serve the same purpose for the International Space Station (ISS). Although the Mir and ISS have their own propulsion systems, generally it is the Progress vehicle which will perform periodic reboosting maneuvers to maintain the Space Station orbital altitude.
