Progress M-19M

 2013-017A


For mission 51P, TKG419, flight M-19M returned to the traditional two-day rendezvous. The Kurs-A ASF2 antenna failed to deploy, but the docking proceeded as scheduled despite worries the antenna would foul one of Zvezda's ATV retroreflectors. The final approach time was extended from 11 to 20 minutes following a software patch to work around the antenna issue.

Mass 7288 kg launch (2366 kg cargo with 880 kg KDU prop, 365 kg add.prop, 458 kg water/O2, 1541 kg cargo; 66 kg accounted EVA material) Docking mass 6907 kg. Undocking 5610 kg. Fully unloaded 4394 kg.
