Today I received the following very helpful information: >Progress M-46 is leading ISS because it was left on-orbit after >undocking. As reported elsewhere, the Russians intend to take >some video of the Russian environment with the Progress external >camera, and then will deorbit the Progress in mid-October. >Progress M1-9 came into proximity (within 30 km) with ISS on >9/27 for a test, then slowly phased away behind, which is why it >has been seen trailing ISS the last two nights. Between GMT >270/17:00 and 271/17:00 Progress phased from 30 km to ~225 km. >Between 271/17:00 and 272/15:00 the range was essentially >constant at ~225 km. Rendezvous maneuvers started at 272/15:00 >and docking was accomplished at 17:00.
