The integrated testing of the Progress M-CO1 spacecraft is going on. The vehicle is to deliver a scheduled module to the Russian segment of the ISS – the CO1 docking compartment.

This compartment known as Pier, will support the Station’s crew EVAs and will become a nadir port on the Zvezda Service Module for manned and automatic cargo resupply vehicles.

The tests are planned to be completed by the end of June this year, afterwards the spacecraft will be shipped to Baikonur launch site to undergo final prelaunch checks.
