Progress DC-1 was launched by a Soyuz-U carrier rocket from Site 1/5 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Launch occurred at 23:34:55 UTC on 14 September 2001.
Docking
The spacecraft docked with the nadir port of the Zvezda module at 01:05 UTC on 17 September 2001.{{cite web|url=http://www.astronautix.com/craft/prossmso.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020612063511/http://www.astronautix.com/craft/prossmso.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=12 June 2002 |title=Progress DC-1|last=Wade|first=Mark|publisher=Encyclopedia Astronautica|access-date=2009-06-07}} It remained docked for nine days.
Undocking and Decay
On 26 September 2001 at 15:36 UTC it was jettisoned from Pirs. It was deorbited at 23:30 UTC on the same day, and burned up in the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean, with any remaining debris landing in the ocean at around 00:01 UTC on 27 September 2001.{{cite web|url=http://www.planet4589.org/space/log/satcat.txt|title=Satellite Catalog|last=McDowell|first=Jonathan|publisher=Jonathan's Space Page|access-date=2009-06-07}}
