Descrizione : Progress M-41 was launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome aboard a Soyuz booster rocket. It docked uneventfully with the Mir complex 2 days after launch. It also delivered the Sputnik-99 amateur radio satellite, launched into orbit by hand by the cosmonauts during an EVA on April 16. Still hopeful of finding a backer to pay to keep Mir in space, Progress M-41 began a series of engine burns in late April to raise the orbit of the station.
