Progress M-47
2003-006A
Launch 1259:40 UTC. Progress 247 on mission 10P.
Mass 7230 kg. 880 kg of prop, 1328 kg of dry cargo. (NK: 7267 kg). Mass at undocking was 7356 kg.
On Feb 11 it reboosted the station's orbit following the loss of Columbia. Operator error resulted in an underburn and an altitude raise of only 7 instead of 10 km.

Asiasat 3
1997-086A
Asia Satellite Telecommunications' HS-601HP Asiasat 3, was to provide Asia-wide C-band coverage and 3 high power Ku band beams. Total power is 9.9 kW. Launched by Proton in Dec 1997, it was stranded in transfer orbit when the second DM3 burn failed, shutting down after only 1s of the 110s burn. Mass was 3480 kg launch, 2560 kg BOL, 1822? kg dry. Size 4m high, 3.1m wide, 26.2m span.
Asiasat 3 was to have replaced Asiasat 1 at 105.5E, with the latter satellite moving to 122E.
In mid 1998 a remarkable rescue strategy evolved: a lunar gravity assist. Asiasat 3 became the property of Hughes Global Services (HGS) in Apr 1998 and was informally renamed HGS-1. The apogee was raised in stages until a TLI burn in May placed it on a free-return lunar flyby trajectory.
In Apr 1999 HGS-1 was purchased by PanAmSat and renamed PAS 22.
