Progress MS-19

Progress MS-19 is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Progress MS-19 rather than just read about it. In short: Progress MS-19 (Russian: Прогресс МC-19), Russian production No.449, identified by NASA as Progress 80P, was a Progress spaceflight launched by Roscosmos to resupply the International Space Station (ISS). This was the 172nd flight of a Progress spacecraft.

Key takeaways

Progress MS-19 belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Progress MS-19 to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Progress MS-19 from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Progress MS-19 (Russian: Прогресс МC-19), Russian production No.449, identified by NASA as Progress 80P, was a Progress spaceflight launched by Roscosmos to resupply the International Space Station (ISS). This was the 172nd flight of a Progress spacecraft.

History The Progress-MS is an uncrewed freighter based on the Progress-M featuring improved avionics. This improved variant first launched on 21 December 2015. It has the following improvements:

New external compartment that enables it to deploy satellites. Each compartment can hold up to four launch containers. First time installed on Progress MS-03 Enhanced redundancy thanks to the addition of a backup system of electrical motors for the docking and sealing mechanism Improved Micrometeoroid (MMOD) protection with additional panels in the cargo compartment Luch Russian relay satellites link capabilities enable telemetry and control even when not in direct view of ground radio stations GNSS autonomous navigation enables real time determination of the status vector and orbital parameters dispensing with the need of ground station orbit determination. Real time relative navigation thanks to direct radio data exchange capabilities with the space station New digital radio that enables enhanced TV camera view for the docking operations The Ukrainian Chezara Kvant-V on board radio system and antenna/feeder system has been replaced with a Unified Command Telemetry System (UCTS) Replacement of the KURS-A with KURS-NA digital system

Launch On 3 February 2021, the State Commission for Testing of the Piloted Space Systems, chaired by Roskosmos head Dmitry Rogozin, approved the latest ISS schedule for 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. A Soyuz-2.1a launched Progress MS-19 to the International Space Station from Baikonur Site 31 on 16 February 2022 on a fast-track trajectory. Around 3 hours 20 minutes after the launch, Progress MS-19 automatically docked to the zenith (space-facing) port of the MIM2 Poisk module and continued its mission for 368 days, supporting Expedition 66 and Expedition 67 missions aboard the ISS.

Cargo The Progress MS-19 spacecraft is loaded with 2,523 kg (5,562 lb) of cargo, with 1,632 kg (3,598 lb) of this being dry cargo.

Dry cargo: 1,632 kg (3,598 lb) Fuel: 431 kg (950 lb) Oxygen: 40 kg (88 lb) Water: 420 kg (930 lb) Also delivered to ISS by progress were 6 Russian experimental cubesats (ЮЗГУ No.5 - 10 / SWSU No5 - 10), which were deployed from the ISS by Russian Cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev during EVA 3 spacewalk. See 2022 List of spacecraft deployed from the International Space Station.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Progress MS-19

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Progress MS-19 claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Progress MS-19 before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Progress MS-19 ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Progress MS-19

In research: Progress MS-19 appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Progress MS-19 in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Progress MS-19 is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2022 in Russia, February 2022 in Russia, Progress (spacecraft) missions, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Progress MS-19 outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
