<h2 id="launch-and-docking">Launch and docking</h2> <p>Progress M-09M was launched from <a href="/facts/Gagarin%2527s_Start/9oK8wcD4">Pad 1/5</a> at the <a href="/facts/Baikonur_Cosmodrome/sk16LwcH">Baikonur Cosmodrome</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> on 28 January 2011 at 01:31:39 UTC.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> The launch used a <a href="/facts/Soyuz-U/XuW0gmYM">Soyuz-U</a> carrier rocket, which placed the Progress spacecraft into a <a href="/facts/Low_Earth_orbit/rq1TwayJ">low Earth orbit</a> with a <a href="/facts/Apsis/VaL6ow9w">perigee</a> of 193.5 kilometres (120.2 mi) and an <a href="/facts/Apsis/VaL6ow9w">apogee</a> of 254.6 kilometres (158.2 mi), <a href="/facts/Orbital_inclination/TQCFWyfd">inclined</a> at 51.65°. The Progress spacecraft subsequently raised its orbit, and manoeuvred to rendezvous with the space station. It arrived at the ISS on 30 January 2011, successfully docking to the nadir port of the <i><a href="/facts/Pirs_(ISS_module)/6JCGTA18">Pirs</a></i> at 02:39 UTC.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="cargo">Cargo</h2> <p>Progress M-09M is carrying 2,666 kilograms (5,878 lb) of cargo to the space station, consisting of 1,444 kilograms (3,183 lb) of dry cargo, 752 kilograms (1,658 lb) of propellant, 50 kilograms (110 lb) of <a href="/facts/Oxygen/acyn6o8r">oxygen</a> and 420 kilograms (930 lb) of water. Of the fuel aboard the spacecraft, 250 kilograms (550 lb) are reserved for orbital manoeuvres whilst docked, such as raising or lowering the station's orbit, whilst the remaining 502 kilograms (1,107 lb) will be used for refuelling the station itself.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> </p><p>The dry cargo aboard Progress M-09M includes parts for the oxygen and water supply systems and the thermal control system, as well as equipment for hardware control and the station's electrical and telemetry systems.
