Seems like more post-contact motion than usual.
Damped out well.

Welcome to the station! Progress is still holding the title for being the best choice for space logistics vehicles of last resort right now.

Couple more pre docking views. (sorry for the ham fisted capping)

Does it have to do a set number of Progress launches successfully before it starts being used for Soyuz?
4.
One today, two more in 2015, and one in 2016.

Thank you. Is 2016 when the first Soyuz launch will be made with it.

First manned launch using Soyuz-2.1a will be Soyuz MS-4, scheduled on 30th March 2017.

http://www.mcc.rsa.ru/progress_m25m.htmAccording to this site, the total cargo mass carried by the vehicle was 2322 kg.
Since this is more or less the same as cargo mass for Progress when launched by the less capable Soyuz-U, it seems that the launch trajectory maintained the usual drop zones by the expedient of carrying the payload fairing for a longer period (at 296 seconds into flight vs the normal 160 seconds).
According to TsUP, the boosters landed 355 km downrange vs 348 km for Soyuz-U.
The payload fairing landed 1550 km downrange rather than 527 km.
The core stage landed 1576 km downrange rather than 1570 km for Soyuz-U.
Because of the greater precision in the orbital insertion, due the digital control system in Soyuz 2, the first two orbital maneuvers were half the size of those normally conducted. The savings in delta-V was about 40 meters per second, which is about 20 kg of propellant use.

You see how routine this ISS logistics flight is (compared with, say, the one that flew hours before this one
) when you need to reach page 7 to dig out this thread!
Anyway this Progress will leave the station in 2 hours time at around 06:40 UTC.
