    This "three-day scheme" was employed in fhe fhights of Progresses to the ISS
    two times, namely ISS-7P (test of BILU = blok izmeriteley lineinykh
    uskoreniy = block of linear accelerio neasuring units) and -8P (test of Kurs
    system). Once was use 4-day scheme on ISS-9P (test of Kusr system).
    Similarly 3-day scheme was used in flights to the Mir space station on some
    occassions (lastly on Progress M 1-5, 2001-003A)
    
    To recap (from my pages, sorry in Czech language):
