Launch

Progress M-52 was launched by a Soyuz-U carrier rocket from Site 1/5 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Launch occurred at 19:09:18 UTC on 28 February 2005.[1]

Docking

The spacecraft docked with the port of the Zarya module at 20:10:08 UTC on 2 March 2005.[2][3] It remained docked for 105 days before undocking at 20:16:10 UTC on 15 June 2005[2] to make way for Progress M-53.[4] It was deorbited at 23:16:00 UTC on 15 June 2005.[2] The spacecraft burned up in the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean, with any remaining debris landing in the ocean at around 00:02:41 UTC on 16 June 2005.[2][5]

Progress M-52 carried supplies to the International Space Station, including food, water and oxygen for the crew and equipment for conducting scientific research. It also carried the TNS-0 (2005-007C) nanosatellite, which was deployed from the ISS on 28 February 2005 at 19:09:18 UTC.
