Launch

Progress M1-6 was launched on the maiden flight of the Soyuz-FG carrier rocket, flying from Site 1/5 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Launch occurred at 22:32:40 UTC on 20 May 2001. [1] The spacecraft docked with the aft port of the Zvezda module at 00:23:57 UTC on 23 May 2001. [2] [3]

Undocking

It remained docked for 91 days before undocking at 06:02 UTC on 22 August 2001 [2] to make way for Progress M-45. [4] It was deorbited at 09:00 UTC on the same day, [2] burning up in the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean, with any remaining debris landing in the ocean at around 09:50 UTC. [2] [5]

Progress M1-6 carried supplies to the International Space Station, including food, water and oxygen for the crew and equipment for conducting scientific research.
