If you believe Roskosmos...
Current schedule of ISS flight events
UTC time is used in table
2018
<snip>
July 10 - Progress MS-09 launch and docking (to Pirs)
<snip>
December 20 - MLM Nauka launch (or Q2 2019)
late December - Pirs and Progress MS-09 undocking (from Zvezda nadir)
late December - Pirs and Progress MS-09 deorbit and reentered the atmosphere
<snip>
December 29 - MLM Nauka docking (to Zvezda nadir) (or Q2 2019)
And,
http://www.russianspaceweb.com/iss-fgb2-mlm-2017.html#1103
The launch of the MLM module advanced to 2018
On November 2, Director General of RKK Energia Vladimir Solntsev met with the Head of Roskosmos Igor Komarov, who insisted on launching the MLM module before the end of 2018, probably due to political pressure from the Kremlin. To accommodate this requirement, RKK Energia drafted a new timeline, which was approved by the company's leadership on November 3.
The new schedule set the launch of the MLM module for Dec. 20, 2018, followed by its docking at the Russian Segment of the station on Dec. 29, 2018.
According to the latest timeline, the arrival of the module will take place during Expedition 58, which will begin onboard the ISS at the end of October 2018. Shortly after the launch of the MLM module, the Pirs Docking Compartment, SO1, will be undocked from the nadir (Earth-facing) port of the Zvezda Service Module, SM, to make room for the new arrival.
The discarding of Pirs will now be delegated to the Progress MS-09 spacecraft (italics mine), which is scheduled for launch on June 13, 2018. Progress MS-09 will tug Pirs away from the station and then direct it into the Earth's atmosphere to burn up over the ocean.
In order to leave Earth before the end of 2018, the MLM/Nauka module would have to be shipped to the launch site in Baikonur in March. In case the processing team in Baikonur worked around the clock, the spacecraft could be ready for launch in seven months, leaving up to two months in reserve. However, experts familiar with the matter saw even the March 2019 launch date as overly ambitious and estimated that it would be more realistic to plan the launch around May 2019.
The situation is complicated by the fact that in October, a Roskosmos representative warned that RKK Energia would have only one chance to push the schedule beyond the previously approved launch date in June 2018, before heavy fines would kick in against the company.
The latest schedule is yet to be officially approved by Roskosmos.
And,
"Сheck inspection of Soyuz MS-08 has been performed
March 16, 2017
Preparations continue for the launch of transportation spacecraft Soyuz MS-08 under the program of the International Space Station.
Today, March 16, the crews of Soyuz MS-08 performed a check inspection of the spacecraft in its launch configuration, in the course of which the primary and backup crews familiarized themselves with the controls and checked out in the test mode the operational integrity of various systems of the spacecraft.
The members of the prime crew also inspected the Progress MS-09 transport cargo vehicle, which is scheduled for launch on July 10, 2018..." (italics mine)

And, if the pattern holds, and after
Progress MS-07 and
08 could not accomplish the two-orbit rendezvous with ISS, that task would apparently fall to
Progress MS-09?

Yesterday we had a scheduled correction of the orbit of the International Space Station. It was conducted in order to form ballistic conditions for the docking of Progress-MS-09 cargo vehicle. I managed to shoot several frames of this process.

… On June 25, Roskosmos announced that the testing of the ship's solar panels had been completed and the final preparations for fueling had began. They included balancing and weighing of the vehicle. On June 26, a meeting of technical management confirmed the readiness of the spacecraft for loading of propellant components and pressurized gases into the ship's Integrated Propulsion System, KDU, and refueling tanks, RKK Energia, the prime contractor, said. The fueling operations were scheduled for June 27 and 28. Also on June 26, inside the vehicle assembly buidling at Sute 31, specialists completed the assembly of the first and second stages of the Soyuz-2-1a rocket for the Progress MS-09 mission.

June 25, tests of Progress MS-09 solar arrays.
Interesting to see the cyclone fencing in front of the lamps, presumably to help stop large fragments hitting the solar arrays in case one of the lamps explodes. Also interesting to see the solar arrays being man handled for deployment without any support. A bit different from Western satellites!

Worth pointing out, too, that NASA routinely sent dozens of the people (for final inspection, crew load/closeouts, and final configurations for launch) to the pads after their rockets were fully fueled.

Midsummer 'white nights' means that the vehicle plume will be in full sunlight from over the pole pretty quickly, so downrange observers are probably gearing up their video gear. The stage-3 shutdown and fuel dump for separation will make a brief spiral in the night sky, but too far east for launch site observers.

3.5 hours /2 orbits vs 6 hours/4 orbits fast tracks.
It looks like now MCC-M ballistics are able to recalculate dV1 and dV2 burns based on the actually achieved orbit and program them into the flight computer in time for these burns to occur, instead of using pre-programmed values as was the case with 4 orbit trajectory. This allowed to get rid of dV3 and dV4 burns which were previously utilized to correct for booster performance disparity. If that is the case, it would be logical to modify 4 orbit trajectory as well to get rid of these two extra phasing burns - less burns means lower chance of things going wrong, also some fuel savings are possible. Will be interesting to see if they will follow this way.

Its weight is currently approximately zero.
Sorry :-)

From Energiya's site:
https://www.energia.ru/ru/iss/iss56/progress_ms-09/photo_07-10.htmlProgress MS-09 delivered to the ISS one and a half tons of dry cargo, 530 kg of fuel in the refueling system, 420 kg of water in the tanks of the Rodnik system, as well as 47 kg of compressed air and oxygen in the cylinders.
In the packing of the cargo compartment - scientific equipment, components for the life support system, as well as containers with food, clothing, medicines and personal hygiene products for the crew.
In a set of personal protective equipment, Orlan-MKS No. 5, a new spacesuit, arrived in orbit, the design of which was amended according to the remarks of the astronauts.
The cargo also includes the scientific and educational satellites SiriusSat-1 and SiriusSat-2. Spacecrafts were made by schoolchildren in the educational center "Sirius" (Sochi city) on the basis of the nano-satellite platform OrbiCaft-Pro. The payload of the apparatus - a cosmic particle detector - was developed at the Nuclear Physics Research Institute of the Moscow State University. In RSC Energia, the devices included in the scientific equipment of the space experiment Radio Skaf were fully certified before being sent to the ISS. The launch of nanosatellites SiriusSat-1 and SiriusSat-2 is scheduled for August during a spacewalk (VKD-45).

"The undocking of the Progress MS-09 from the Pirs module of the ISS is scheduled for January 25 at 15:55 Moscow time," the agency’s source said.
According to him, three hours after undocking from the ISS cargo will be de-orbited.
“At about 19:54 Moscow time, the unburned elements of its construction will fall on the so-called“ cemetery of space ships ”in the South Pacific,” a source added.
