Progress MS-06 (), identified by NASA as Progress 67P, was a Progress spacecraft used by Roscosmos to resupply the International Space Station (ISS). It was launched on 14 June 2017. History. The Progress-MS is a uncrewed freighter based on the Progress-M featuring improved avionics. This improved variant first launched on 21 December 2015. It had the following improvements: Launch. Progress MS-06 launched on 14 June 2017 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, at 09:20:13 UTC. It used a Soyuz-2.1a rocket to get to orbit, replacing the former Soyuz-U launch system. Docking. Progress MS-06 docked with the  Zvezda. It was planned to dock with the "Pirs" module which it would remove from the space station, in preparation for the arrival of the "Nauka" module. However, due to the repetitive delays with the "Nauka" module the plan was postponed to Progress MS-09. After a two-day rendezvous, Progress MS-06 docked to the station on 16 June 2017 at 11:37 UTC. Cargo. The Progress MS-06 spacecraft delivered 2,450 kg of cargo and supplies to the International Space Station for the six-person crew. The following is a breakdown of cargo bound for the ISS: Orbit. On 27 August 2017 , Progress MS-06's engines were used for a 177-second burn to raise the ISS by around 0.97 km (average orbital altitude). Undocking and decay. Progress MS-06 undocked on 28 December 2017 and re-entered the atmosphere at 04:43 UTC. Its debris entered the Pacific Ocean at 04:51:34 UTC. Launch fire. The strap-on boosters ignited dry grass on impact 600 kilometers downrange from the Baikonur Cosmodrome causing a fire 15 km across. NPO Mashinostroyeniya employed workers to clear debris. One worker was killed and another hospitalized by the fires.
