FGB & TKS

Transportniy Korabl Snabzheniya (Transport Supply Craft) was designed for both crewed and autonomous resupply flights to Almaz stations, though it was never used operationally. It featured a Functional Control Block (FGB) and a three man Return Vehicle (VA). The VA was a derivative of the LK-1 lunar flyby and LK-700 lunar lander concepts. The FGB later formed the basis for several space station modules including the ISS Zarya FGB.

Progress

Progress 7K-TG

Progress expendable cargo craft is derived from the Soyuz spacecraft and launched on the same Soyuz rocket. 7K-TG build is very similar to Soyuz 7K-T except the crew modules are replaced by a Hamal 12-B Orbital Module, Hamal 12-A Control Block and a Size 1 Gyroscope.

From top to bottom:

  • Octans Size 0.5 Docking Port A (Male) (Type A)
  • Hamal 12-B Orbital Module (Type A)
    • Atria-Octans Basic High Gain Antenna
    • Atria Active & Passive Folding Antennae
    • Octans Basic Linear RCS Port C (in 2x symmetry)
  • Hamal 12-A Control Block (Type A)
  • Hamal Size 1 Gyroscope
    • Octans Basic Linear RCS Ports ports placed on the gyro:
      • Type B in 2x symmetry on cardinal axes
      • Type A in 2x symmetry angled 45 degrees forwards

Progress-M

Progress 7K-TG was replaced by the upgraded Progress-M, based on Soyuz-T designs, which features solar panels to extend autonomous flight for up to 30 days. It also has a Raduga capsule for returning cargo from orbit, which is delivered in the cargo and substituted for the vessel's docking probe before it leaves the station.
