Progress M1-3, identified by NASA as Progress 1P, was the first Progress spacecraft to visit the International Space Station. It was a Progress-M1 11F615A55 spacecraft, with the serial number 251.{{cite web|url=http://planet4589.org/space/log/launchlog.txt|title=Launch Log|last=McDowell|first=Jonathan|publisher=Jonathan's Space Page |access-date=2009-06-07}}

Launch

Progress M1-3 was launched by a Soyuz-U carrier rocket from Site 1/5 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Launch occurred at 18:26:42 UTC on 6 August 2000. The spacecraft docked with the aft port of the Zvezda module at 20:12:56 UTC on 8 August.{{cite web|url=http://space.kursknet.ru/cosmos/english/cargoes/pr1m3.sht |first=Alexander |last=Anikeev|publisher=Manned Astronautics - Figures & Facts|title=Cargo spacecraft "Progress M1-3"|access-date=2009-06-07|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071018204308/http://space.kursknet.ru/cosmos/english/cargoes/pr1m3.sht|archive-date=2007-10-18}}{{cite web |url=http://www.astronautix.com/craft/proessm1.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020612062830/http://www.astronautix.com/craft/proessm1.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=12 June 2002|title=Progress M1|last=Wade|first=Mark|publisher=Encyclopedia Astronautica|access-date=2009-06-07}}

Undocking

It remained docked for 75 days before undocking at 04:04:49 UTC on 1 November to make way for Soyuz TM-31. It was deorbited at 07:05:00 UTC on the same day. The spacecraft burned up in the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean, with any remaining debris landing in the ocean at around 07:53:20 UTC.{{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}}

Progress M1-3 carried supplies to the International Space Station. It was unloaded during the Space Shuttle missions STS-106 and STS-92, as the ISS did not yet have a permanent crew. The Expedition 1 crew arrived the day after Progress M1-3 departed the Station, using the docking port that it had vacated.
