Mission Report:

• On Dec 21, 2015 Russia launched the first Progress-MS cargo ship. Progress-MS is similar to previous Progress ships but with improved onboard systems. It docked with the Pirs module at 1027 UTC Dec 23.
• Progress MS-01 undocked from the Pirs module at 0536 UTC on Jul 1, 2016 backed off to 180m, and redocked at 0605 UTC under TORU remote control. During redocking there was an incorrect thruster firing that made the vehicle swing visibly from side to side. The problem is reportedly under investigation but did not affect Progress MS-01's final undocking, which happened at 0348 UTC Jul 3.
• Progress MS-01 was deorbited and destroyed over the South Pacifc at 0750 UTC Jul 3.
