Progress cargo spacecraft

Progress is an uncrewed Soviet and Russian cargo-spacecraft family derived from Soyuz. Its vehicles deliver pressurized cargo, water, gases, and propellant to orbital stations, can support station reboosts, and are loaded with waste before destructive atmospheric reentry.

      Variant Notes
      One rear Progress Propulsion Module integrated system containing docking, reboost, and deorbit propulsion; individual engine and attitude-thruster models remain intentionally unmodeled.

    Progress rear propulsion-module configuration
    Notes
    Models one exact integrated propulsion-module installation only. No KTDU-80, S5.80, DPO, or individual thruster suffix is inferred because the cited ESA/NASA sources establish the module boundary and operational role but not a single exact engine-model assignment for every Progress generation.
