Do we need to include the Everything2 sig at the bottom? I am unfamiliar with their license but if it doesn't need to be included, it shouldn't be... -lommer 20:39, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Many changes have been done since the original Everything2 version. I also suggest removing the label.

I think that the references to N2O2 oxidiser in this article should actually be N2O - can someone check this?--NHSavage 10:40, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

Now fixed - just a typo, the linked article was correctly N2O4.--NHSavage 10:58, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

ATV delayed::

The ATV has been delayed till ~ mid 2007. Changed accordingly.--subzero788 4:44, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Unmanned?

Is it correct to call this spacecraft unmanned when it is unmanned only during the launch and re-entry and when docked with a space station it can be entered and inhabited by astronauts? If it is still unmanned, then all modules of the space station also should be called unmanned since they also inhabited only when docked to the station.--Planemo 20:38, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I would agree with it being called unmanned, it is not flown my anyone inside. It can only be entered if attached to the space station in orbit. I suppose it could make clear in the article that the spacecraft when attached to the space station acts basically as another section of it, allowing astronauts to enter it. But the important thing is that it is never used for flight (either into orbit, in orbit, or in re-entry) manned. Anyway that is IMHO 128.243.220.21 14:57, 9 November 2006 (UTC) this is me Lethaniol 14:57, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

You're right, a spacecraft attached to a space stantion work essentially like a module of the station. And all modules of a manned space station considered manned, in spite no one ever entered in orbit in it or re-entered atmosphere.--Planemo 16:48, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Looks like you've worked out a consensus on this. FWIW, I agree that technically its considered unmanned, even if it does support life while docked with the station. Shell ^babelfish 23:03, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

What's the difference from a space station module?--Nixer 07:22, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Space station modules are (semi-)permanent fixtures of the station and generally cannot operate independently. The Progress is a cargo ferry, and is only entered for loading and unloading, and operates independently and unmanned when not attached to the space station. siafu 00:19, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

This is the key word: unmanned when not attached to a space station. I will change the article. --Planemo 08:06, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
