Progress M-44 (Russian: Прогресс М-44), identified by NASA as Progress 3P, was a Progress spacecraft used to resupply the International Space Station. It was a Progress-M 11F615A55 spacecraft, with the serial number 244.[1]

Launch

Progress M-44 was launched by a Soyuz-U carrier rocket from Site 1/5 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Launch occurred at 08:09:35 UTC on 26 February 2001.[1] The spacecraft docked with the aft port of the Zvezda module at 09:49:47 UTC on 28 February 2001.[2][3]

Docking

It remained docked for 47 days before undocking at 08:48 UTC on 16 April 2001.[2] It was deorbited at 13:23 UTC the same day.[2] The spacecraft burned up in the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean, with any remaining debris landing in the ocean at around 14:11 UTC.[2][4]

Progress M-44 carried supplies to the International Space Station, including food, water and oxygen for the crew and equipment for conducting scientific research. It was the first Progress-M spacecraft to visit the ISS, previous resupply missions having used the Progress-M1.
