Description:

Delivery of cargo and propellant to the orbital station ISS 14P (the 14th resupply mission to ISS).
The vessel carries cargo for the Space Station, including spacesuit Orlan-M No. 27, and is ISS flight 14P.

Mission details:

Mounted atop an unmanned Soyuz rocket, the Progress vessel roared away from its launch pad at 1234 GMT (8:34 a.m. EDT). Nine minutes later the cargo craft settled into orbit and deployed its solar arrays and navigational antennas.
The spacecraft made a fully automated docking to the aft port of the space station's Russian Zvezda module on 27 May 2004 at 13:55 UT.
That docking port was vacated early Monday when the Progress 13P (M1-11 or No. 260) departed the station around 0920 GMT (5:20 a.m. EDT) will a load of trash and unneeded equipment.
The Progress M-49 cargo ship, undocked at 06:05 UT on Jul 30 and carried out a deorbit burn at 10:39 UT leading to reentry over the Pacific starting at 11:14 UT.
