The Progress spacecraft subsequently raised its orbit, and manoeuvred to rendezvous with the space station. It arrived at the ISS on 30 January 2011, successfully docking to the nadir port of the Pirs at 02:39 UTC.{{cite web|title=ISS On-Orbit Status|url=http://www.nasa.gov/directorates/somd/reports/iss_reports/2011/01302011.html|publisher=NASA |access-date=10 February 2011|date=30 January 2011}} {{PD-notice}}{{cite web|last=Ray|first=Justin|title=Russia launches another cargo ship to space station |url=http://www.spaceflightnow.com/station/exp26/110127prog41p/|publisher=Spaceflight Now|access-date=29 January 2011|date=27 January 2011}}

Progress M-09M is carrying {{convert|2666|kg}} of cargo to the space station, consisting of {{convert|1444|kg}} of dry cargo, {{convert|752|kg}} of propellant, {{convert|50|kg}} of oxygen and {{convert|420|kg}} of water. Of the fuel aboard the spacecraft, {{convert|250|kg}} are reserved for orbital manoeuvres whilst docked, such as raising or lowering the station's orbit, whilst the remaining {{convert|502|kg}} will be used for refuelling the station itself.

The dry cargo aboard Progress M-09M includes parts for the oxygen and water supply systems and the thermal control system, as well as equipment for hardware control and the station's electrical and telemetry systems. Also aboard the spacecraft is {{convert|147|kg}} of equipment for conducting scientific research aboard the station. For the crew, food, medical and hygiene equipment will also be delivered, as well as documentation and personal items including books by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and a birthday present for station commander Scott Kelly.{{cite web|last=Harding|first=Pete|title=Progress M-09M launches to stowage-laden ISS|url=http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2011/01/progress-m-09m-launch-stowage-laden-iss/|publisher=NASASpaceflight.com |access-date=29 January 2011|date=27 January 2011}}

The ARISSAT-1 or Kedr of 30 kg, miniaturised satellite was delivered to the ISS aboard Progress M-09M. It is an amateur radio satellite which will be deployed from the station during an EVA on 16 February 2011. The satellite will be operated by RSC Energia, and is part of the RadioSkaf programme. It is intended to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the Vostok 1 mission.{{cite web|title=Kedr Smallsat Launched on Progress for Deployment by a Cosmonaut During EVA |url=http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=35923|publisher=SpaceRef|access-date=29 January 2011|date=28 January 2011}}
