Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Progress M-17 was
a Russian unmanned cargo spacecraft which was launched in 1993 to
resupply the Mir space station. The thirty-fifth of sixty four Progress
spacecraft to visit Mir, it used the Progress-M 11F615A55 configuration,
and had the serial number 217. In addition to delivering cargo, Progress
M-17 was also used to demonstrate extended duration Progress missions;
remaining in orbit for almost a year with a docked phase lasting 132
days. Progress M-17 was launched at 03:34:13 GMT on 31 March 1993, atop
a Soyuz-U2 carrier rocket flying from Site 1/5 at the Baikonur
Cosmodrome. It docked with the aft port of the Kvant-1 module at
05:16:18 GMT on 1 April, less than 26 hours after launch. The rocket had
the serial number N15000-069. The spacecraft carried supplies including
food, water and oxygen for the EO-13 and EO-14 crews aboard Mir, as well
as equipment for conducting scientific research, and fuel for adjusting
the station's orbit and performing manoeuvres.
