Pre-launch

In 2014, the launch was originally scheduled for 16 October 2018, but in September 2019, it was rescheduled to 20 December 2019. This was then moved ahead to 6 December 2019.[2]

Launch

Progress MS-13 was launched on 6 December 2019 at 09:34:11 UTC from Baikonur Cosmodrome, since the Site 31/6.

Docking

To avoid docking with the ISS at the same time as SpaceX CRS-19, Progress MS-13 followed a slow three-day rendezvous trajectory rather than the fast-track three hour trajectory used on Progress MS-12.

Progress MS-13 docked with the Pirs module at 10:38 UTC on 9 December 2019.[3]

Cargo

The Progress MS-13 spacecraft delivered 2480 kg of cargo, with 1350 kg being pressurized and 1130 kg being unpressurized.

The following is a breakdown of cargo bound for the ISS:[2]

  • Hardware for onboard systems: 502 kg (1,107 lb)
  • Medical supplies: 29 kg (64 lb)
  • Personal protective gear: 66 kg (146 lb)
  • Sanitary and hygiene items: 271 kg (597 lb)
  • Repairs and servicing equipment: 9 kg (20 lb)
  • Food: 271 kg (597 lb)
  • Means of crew support: 25 kg (55 lb)
  • Other payloads: 102 kg (225 lb)
  • NASA cargo: 87 kg (192 lb)
