Progress M-44, identified by NASA as Progress 3 or 3P, was a Progress spacecraft used to resupply the International Space Station. It was a Progress-M 11F615A55 spacecraft, with the serial number 244.[1]
Progress M-44 was launched by a Soyuz-U carrier rocket from Site 1/5 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Launch occurred at 08:09:35 GMT on 26 February 2001.[1] The spacecraft docked with the Aft port of the Zvezda module at 09:49:47 GMT on 28 February.[2][3] It remained docked for one and a half months before undocking at 08:48 GMT on 16 April.[2] It was deorbited at 13:23 GMT the same day.[2] The spacecraft burned up in the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean, with any remaining debris landing in the ocean at around 14:11 GMT.[2][4]
Progress M-44 carried supplies to the International Space Station, including food, water and oxygen for the crew and equipment for conducting scientific research. It was the first Progress-M spacecraft to visit the ISS, previous resupply missions having used the Progress-M1.
