1. Approach and Docking Chart:
Docking is scheduled to happed after just 4 orbits following the launch!
The times below are Moscow Time (UTC+4), commas separate fractional part of numbers:
The expected payload separation time: 23h 44m 02.18s
2. Orbital Parameters of Progress M-16M and the ISS
Parameter|Designation|Prorgess-M-15M at 08/01|ISS at 08/02
Orbital Period|T, min|88,58 ±0,37|92,55
Inclination|i, degrees|51,66 ±0,06|51,66
Min altitude|h, km|193 +7 -15|401,70
Max altitude|H, km|245 ±42|420,16
