Progress 1
1978-008A
11F615A15 (7K-TG) No. 102 was the first Progress vehicle to be launched, and was named Progress-1.
Progress' PAO is longer than the Soyuz version, as it carries avionics that would be in the SA on Soyuz.
After undocking , Progress-1 activated its backup rendezvous system at a distance of about 12 km, and began re-rendezvous maneuvers. However, once the system had begun operating it was interrupted and an actual re-rendezvous was not attempted.
