Beschreibung : Progress M36 was launched by a Soyuz-U rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome at 15:08 UT to dock with and deliver 3,000 kg of fuel, water, and equipment (including a new replacement computer) to the MIR space station. It orbited around for three days waiting the (eventual) undocking of the earlier Progress M35 and then successfully made an automatic docking at the vacated port on October 8. It also carried a German mini-satellite, Inspector, to be used in inspecting the outer surface of the damaged MIR and a replica of the first Soviet satellite, Sputnik 1.
