Launch

Progress M-47 was launched by a Soyuz-U carrier rocket from Site 1/5 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Launch occurred at 12:59:40 GMT on 2 February 2003.[1]

Docking

The spacecraft docked with the aft port of the Zvezda module at 14:49:04 UTC on 4 February 2003.[2][3] It remained docked for almost 204 days before undocking at 22:48:08 UTC on 27 August 2003.[2] to make way for Progress M-48[4] It was deorbited at 01:49 UTC the next day.[2] The spacecraft burned up in the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean, with any remaining debris landing in the ocean at around 02:37:46 UTC.[2][5]

Progress M-47 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 spacecraft to launch to the International Space Station following the loss of the Space Shuttle Columbia the day prior to the Progress module's launch, which resulted in a suspension of Shuttle flights to the Station.
