Progress M-MIM2 (Russian: Прогресс М-МИМ2, alternatively transliterated as Progress M-MRM2 and originally designated Progress M-SO2) was a specially modified Progress M 11F615A55 spacecraft, Russian production No. 302, which was used to deliver the Poisk (MRM 2) module to the Russian Orbital Segment of the International Space Station. It was launched on 10 November 2009 at 14:22:04 UTC. The spacecraft consisted of a Progress M propulsion compartment, with the pressurized cargo section of the spacecraft removed to accommodate Poisk, similar to the Progress M-SO1 spacecraft which was used to deliver the Pirs module to the station in 2001. This was the 126th flight of a Progress spacecraft.
