Progress M-18M (Russian: Прогресс М-18М), identified by NASA as Progress 50 or 50P, is a Progress spacecraft used by Roskosmos to resupply the International Space Station during 2013. Progress M-18M was sent on a 4-Orbit rendezvous profile that was already demonstrated by the Progress M-16M and Progress M-17M spacecraft in 2012.

Launch

The spacecraft was launched on time at 14:41 GMT on 11 February 2013 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.[2]

Docking

Oleg Novitskiy and Roman Romanenko monitor data at the TORU controls during the Progress M-18 approach to the ISS.

Progress M-18M docked with the Pirs Docking Compartment at 20:35 GMT less than six hours after the launch. The successful docking climaxed the third successful Same-Day-Rendezvous in the International Space Station history.[3]

Cargo

Progress M-18M delivered about 764 pounds (346 kilograms) of propellant, 110 pounds (50 kg) of oxygen and air, 926 pounds (420 kg) of water and about 3,000 pounds (1,360 kg) of spare parts, science gear and other supplies to the Space Station.[4]
