Quote from: Nicolas PILLET on 07/26/2014 10:47 amAcording to my classification, Progress M-25M will be the 350th Soviet/Russian spaceship to attempt to reach orbit !18 Vostok/Voskhod, 146 Soyuz, 147 Progress, 7 BOR, 1 Buran, 15 L1, 1 LOK, 3 T2K, 8 VA, 3 TKS.OK, I admit that BOR and T2K are not really "spaceships"... That's just for the fun of statistics ! I wouldn't consider Progress a space ship. The re-entry mode is quite different... ;-)

Also notice that there are some differences in the launch sequence as well - notably that the fairing separates much later on the Soyuz-2 (T+296.35s instead of T+160.56s on the Soyuz-U, i.e. now after 2nd stage has separated!). I think this is because separating later is actually preferable, but due to the limited control ability on the older series the fairing had to be shaved earlier in flight?
MCC-M is released Progress-M-25M homepage. Payload weight is 2,350kg.http://www.mcc.rsa.ru/progress_m25m.htm
Will appreciate it if someone can cover this as I'm still working with the Antares failure and there's no way I'm going to be able to work with a few hours sleep.
