Progress M-37 (Russian: Прогресс M-37) was a Russian unmanned Progress cargo spacecraft, which was launched in December 1997 to resupply the Mir space station.

Launch

Progress M-37 launched on 20 December 1997 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It used a Soyuz-U rocket.[2][4]

Docking

Progress M-37 docked with the aft port of the Kvant-1 module of Mir on 22 December 1997 at 10:22:20 UTC, and was undocked on 30 January 1998 at 12:53 UTC, to make way for Soyuz TM-27.[3][5] Following the redocking of Soyuz TM-27 to the forward port of the Mir Core Module, Progress M-37 was redocked to the Kvant-1 module on 23 February 1998 at 10:22:20 UTC, and finally undocked on 15 March 1998 at 19:16:01 UTC.

Decay

It remained in orbit until 15 March 1998, when it was deorbited. The deorbit burn occurred at 22:14:30 UTC, with the mission ending at 23:04:00 UTC.[3][5]
