Progress M-17

 1993-019A

---

11F615A55 No. 217 (Progress M-17) was launched in Mar 1993. The initial orbital insertion was inaccurate and a lot of fuel was used up in docking. After undocking in Aug 1993 it was left in orbit until aerodynamic decay brought its altitude low. In Mar 1994 after a year in space the vehicle was deorbited with the remaining fuel.
