You are right, because Progress M-04M launch was previously planned for December 26. I have forgotten September's rocket, so December's rocket is for Progress M-05M. The new link with that old report is on http://www.federalspace.ru/main.php?id=2&nid=7545

Hey, here's something I actually know about!!

For the Russian segment, all water used must be "Moscow" water, ie water that has been treated with Moscow type disinfectant, which uses silver nitrate instead of our chlorination process. The reason given for this requirement is that the Russian equipment that deals with water, such as Elektron and the condensate collectors, allegedly would completely disintegrate (or in other terms, work out of spec) if non-Moscow water passes through them.

This requirement means that any water shipped to the Russian segment via Shuttle must be imported from Russia.

I would say there is a seal compatibility issue with the disinfectant. Another one would be if there were any plastics involved.

I'd tend to agree with the first issue. Chlorine does some really bad things to a lot of rubber or similar materials, certainly ruins RO membranes.

Well, there is Russian page from TsUP, showing loads of detail about the flight, including the specifics on the cargo. The highlights are:

363 kg water for the Rodnik system (Moscow water)

871 kg prop in the refueling compartment
250 kg prop in the service module allocated for ISS needs

77 kg - electronics system, which probably means an 800a battery

133 kg for the food rationing system

96 kg medical system supplies

4 kg for Poisk systems

496 kg for the American segment (your tax dollars at work)

Total cargo load:  2686 kg

The nominal initial orbit is 193 km x 245 km, watch to see how far off they go.

From ISS Daily Report for 5/2/10.

Yest kasaniye! At 11:26pm EST last night, Progress M-04M(36P) docked successfully to the SM (Service Module) aft port under automatic KURS control, followed by a final DPO post-contact thrusting burn, docking probe retraction and hook closure (“sborka”) after motion damp-out while the ISS was in free drift for ~20 min (11:26pm-11:46pm). At “hooks closed” signal, the SM returned to active attitude control, maneuvering the ISS to LVLH TEA (local vertical/local horizontal Torque Equilibrium Attitude) at 11:46pm. Control authority returned to US Momentum Management at 12:42am. Russian thrusters were disable temporarily during clamps install and leak check (1:45am-3:40am). For the first time, four Russian vehicles are docked at the ISS (two Progress and two Soyuz vehicles).

For monitoring 36P rendezvous & docking, FE-4 Kotov & FE-5 Noguchi activated the FGB-based A31p SSC (Station Support Computer) laptop for the TV conversion to NTSC and Ku-band of the RS (Russian Segment) video signal from the SONY HDV camera via the MPEG-2 (Moving Pictures Expert Group 2) encoder from FGB & SM, in order to downlink “streaming video” packets via U.S. OpsLAN and Ku-band.

After the cargo ship’s successful docking, activities by Maxim Suraev & Oleg Kotov included:

. Shutting off the TORU teleoperated rendezvous & docking system, used as manual
  standby, and reconfiguring the STTS telephone/telegraph subsystem to normal ops
  [the "Voskhod-M" STTS enables telephone communications between the SM, FGB, DC-1
  and USOS, and also with users on the ground over VHF channels selected by an
  operator at an SM comm panel, via STTS antennas on the SM’s outside. There are six
  comm panels in the SM with pushbuttons for accessing any of three audio channels,
  plus an intercom channel. Other modes of the STTS include telegraphy (teletype), EVA
  voice, emergency alarms, Packet/Email, and TORU docking support].
. Conducting the standard one-hour leak checking of the docking vestibule and
  fuel/oxidizer transfer line interface between Progress and SM PrK (Transfer Tunnel).
. Opening the hatches (~3:00am) and installing the QD (quick disconnect) screw clamps
  (BZV) of the docking & internal transfer mechanism (SSVP) to rigidize the coupling.
. Performing the standard air sampling inside Progress with the Russian AK-1M air sampler.
. Powering down the spacecraft and installing the ventilation/heating air duct.
. Dismantling the docking mechanism (StM, Stykovochnovo mekhanizma) between the
  cargo ship and the DC-1 (~4:25am-5:25am) [the StM is the "classic" probe-and-cone
  type, consisting of an active docking assembly (ASA) with a probe (SSh), which fits
  into the cone (SK) on the passive docking assembly (PSA) for initial soft dock and
  subsequent retraction to hard dock. The ASA is mounted on the Progress' cargo module
  (GrO), while the PSA sits on the docking ports of the SM, FGB and DC-1].

. Transferring & inspecting four Russian high priority payloads to the ISS and setting
  them up in the SM & DC1,- the BTKh-42 Struktura (Structure) with its Luch-2 kit, the
  TKhN-9 Kristallizator (Crystallizer), FOCUS structural equipment, and
  BTKh-29/Zhenshen-2/Ginseng-2.]

    * Dismantling the docking mechanism (StM, Stykovochnovo mekhanizma) between the cargo ship and the DC-1 (~4:25am-5:25am)

If the Progress docked with SM AFT, why was the docking mechanism at DC-1 dismantled?
