Progress M-13 (Russian: Прогресс М-13) was a Russian uncrewed cargo spacecraft which was launched in 1992 to resupply the Mir space station.[2] The thirty-first of sixty four Progress spacecraft to visit Mir, it used the Progress-M 11F615A55 configuration,[3] and had the serial number 214.[4] It carried supplies including food, water and oxygen for the crew aboard Mir, as well as equipment for conducting scientific research, and fuel for adjusting the station's orbit and performing manoeuvres.
Progress M-13 was launched at 16:43:13 GMT on 30 June 1992, atop a Soyuz-U2 carrier rocket flying from Site 31/6 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome.[4] Following four days of free flight, it docked with the Forward port of Mir's core module at 12:38 GMT on 4 July.[5] An earlier docking attempt on 2 July had been unsuccessful.[6] During the 19 days for which Progress M-13 was docked, Mir was in an orbit of around 387 by 410 kilometres (209 by 221 nmi), inclined at 51.6 degrees.[1] Progress M-13 undocked from Mir at 04:14:00 GMT on 24 July to make way for Soyuz TM-15, and was deorbited few hours later, to a destructive reentry over the Pacific Ocean at around 08:03:35.[1][5]
