[5] NASA confirmed on 28 June 2018 that if Progress MS-09 launches on 9 July 2018, the mission succeeded a super fast-tracked rendezvous with the Station, docking to the ISS just 3 hours (2 orbits) after launch - making it the fastest orbital rendezvous ever-attempted with the International Space Station.

The new SUD flight control system allows for autonomous trajectory measurements using the GLONASS (Uragan) navigation satellites.

Also improvements were made to the micrometeoroid protection, the lighting system and the docking port.

[3] The Progress MS-09 spacecraft delivered 2,450 kg of cargo and supplies to the International Space Station.

Later that day, the spacecraft burned up in the atmosphere and its debris fell into the Pacific Ocean.
