It has the pressurised cargo module removed to accommodate Pirs.
Launch
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. 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.
