Flown ISS Cargo Transport Bag label card carried to the International Space Station on Progress M-65 (ISS-30P), which launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 10 September, 2008.
While Shuttle-flown ISS labels are relatively common, examples launching from Baikonur on Russian Progress vehicles are much rarer.
The Progress-M (Прогресс-M) spacecraft is an uncrewed Russian cargo resupply vehicle. Three to four Progress missions are launched to the ISS each year, carrying fresh supplies, equipment, and other essentials. This label was used on a Cargo Transfer Bag (CTB) destined from the US segment of the ISS, identifying the bag’s contents and their maximum toxicity rating. When no longer needed, the bag and label were returned to earth on a departing Shuttle flight in order to make room for new cargo.
The card measures 5.25" x 4," and is printed on a special fire-retardant paper. Any handwriting was applied on-orbit by a crew member.
This card comes from the personal collection of a KSC Quality Assurance Inspector who removed it during post-flight processing from a returning Shuttle mission. Ships with an Orbital Artifacts Certificate of Authenticity.
