The launch of Progress M-05M, which occurred at 17:15 UTC on 28 April 2010, was conducted from Site 1/5 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome,{{cite web |url=http://www.federalspace.ru/main.php?id=2&nid=9133|title=Baikonur's Pad 1 Prepared for the Progress Launch|date=18 April 2010|publisher=Roskosmos|access-date=26 April 2010}} using a Soyuz-U carrier rocket.
The Progress M-05M spacecraft arrived at the Baikonur Cosmodrome by train on 19 March 2010.{{cite web|url=http://www.federalspace.ru/main.php?id=2&nid=8873|title=Progress M-05M Cargo Supply Vehicle Arrives at Baikonur|date=20 March 2010|publisher=Roskosmos|access-date=26 April 2010|archive-date=11 June 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110611051558/http://www.federalspace.ru/main.php?id=2&nid=8873|url-status=dead}} Shortly after delivery, initial tests of its electronics and Kurs docking system began,{{cite web|url=http://www.federalspace.ru/main.php?id=2&nid=8924|title=Progress M-05M Undergoes Electrical Tests|date=24 March 2010|publisher=Roskosmos|access-date=26 April 2010|archive-date=25 January 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100125045412/http://www.federalspace.ru/main.php?id=2&nid=8924|url-status=dead}} which were completed by 29 March 2010.{{cite web|url=http://www.federalspace.ru/main.php?id=2&nid=8954|title=Progress M-05M: Autonomous Tests Completed|date=24 March 2010|publisher=Roskosmos|access-date=26 April 2010|archive-date=11 June 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110611051642/http://www.federalspace.ru/main.php?id=2&nid=8954|url-status=dead}} Further testing was subsequently conducted using an acoustic chamber between 1 and 3 April 2010.{{cite web|url=http://www.federalspace.ru/main.php?id=2&nid=8968|title=Progress M-05M Accommodated in the Acoustic Chamber|date=1 April 2010|publisher=Roskosmos|access-date=26 April 2010|archive-date=11 June 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110611051705/http://www.federalspace.ru/main.php?id=2&nid=8968|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://www.federalspace.ru/main.php?id=2&nid=8985|title=Cargo Supply Vehicle Progress M-05M to Undergo Leak Tests|date=3 April 2010|publisher=Roskosmos|access-date=26 April 2010|archive-date=11 June 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110611051913/http://www.federalspace.ru/main.php?id=2&nid=8985|url-status=dead}} It then underwent a series of leak checks in a vacuum chamber.

Cosmonaut Oleg Kotov used the backup TORU system to manually control the rendezvous and docking, setting a record for the furthest distance a Progress spacecraft was flown under manual control.{{cite web |url=http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n1005/01progress37p/|title=Cosmonaut takes control of resupply ship's docking|last=Ray|first=Justin|date=1 May 2010|publisher=Spaceflight Now|access-date=1 May 2010}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/space-station-cargo-ship-docks-100501.html|title=Russian Cargo Ship Docks at Space Station Despite Malfunction|author=Tariq Malik |publisher=SPACE.com|date=1 May 2010|access-date=1 May 2010}}
The Progress M-03M spacecraft, which had previously been occupying the Pirs docking port, departed on 22 April 2010 to make way for Progress M-05M.{{cite web |url=http://www.nasa.gov/directorates/somd/reports/iss_reports/2010/04222010.html|title=ISS On-Orbit Status|date=22 April 2010|publisher=NASA|access-date=26 April 2010}} {{PD-notice}}
Undocking
Progress M-05M remained docked with the space station until 25 October 2010.{{cite web|url=http://www.nasa.gov/directorates/somd/reports/iss_reports/2010/10222010.html|title=ISS On-Orbit Status|date=22 October 2010|publisher=NASA|access-date=23 October 2010}} {{PD-notice}} The spacecraft undocked from the Pirs docking compartment at 14:25 UTC on 25 October 2010.{{cite web|url=http://www.federalspace.ru/main.php?id=2&nid=10656|title=Progress M-05M Autonomous Mission|author=Russian Federal Space Agency|date=25 October 2010|access-date=26 October 2010|archive-date=12 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130512214732/http://www.federalspace.ru/main.php?id=2&nid=10656|url-status=dead}} Expedition 25 Flight Engineer Fyodor Yurchikhin closed and performed leak checks on the hatch between the space station and Progress M-05M on 22 October 2010, completing preparations for the spacecraft's undocking. The undocking of Progress M-05M cleared the way for the launch of the Progress M-08M spacecraft on 27 October 2010 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. On 30 October 2010, Progress M-08M docked to the Pirs docking compartment vacated by Progress M-05M.
Decay
After undocking, the spacecraft was transferred to a lower orbit. The Progress M-05M spacecraft spent 21 days orbiting a safe distance from the space station. The autonomous mission enabled Russian scientists to conduct geophysical experiments before spacecraft's demise.
On 15 November 2010, Progress M-05M was deorbited and drowned in the South Pacific Ocean several thousand kilometers East of New Zealand.{{cite web|url=https://www.russianspaceweb.com/progress_m_0m.html|title=An upgraded Progress to take off|website=russianspaceweb.com|date=26 November 2009|access-date=8 April 2023}} Progress engines were activated by the onboard computer and retroburn was initiated at 8:50 UTC. The main engine operated for 186.2 seconds, providing the braking burn of 89.7 mps to the spacecraft. The remaining parts of the Progress M-05M, not burnt during the reentry fell down in the area of 47°57' South and 220°44'West at about 9:35 UTC.{{cite web|url=http://www.federalspace.ru/main.php?id=2&nid=10827|title=Progress M-05M Deorbited|author=Russian Federal Space Agency|date=15 November 2010|access-date=17 November 2010|archive-date=19 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120319055951/http://www.federalspace.ru/main.php?id=2&nid=10827|url-status=dead}}
