Operational History
The modified Progress-M is a uncrewed cargo spacecraft based on the Progress-M. In the new version, the Argon-16 computer is replaced by the new TsVM-101 computer. The latter is a much more capable computer, is almost 10 times lighter and much smaller. The analogue telemetry system is also replaced by a smaller digital telemetry system called MBITS.
