The rocket successfully injected the vehicle into the orbit with the following parameters:
min altitude - 193,96 km;
max altitude - 240,09 km;
revolution - 88,54 min;
inclination - 51,64 deg.
The vehicle is due to dock to the station's Zvezda module on June 23, at 20:37 MSK.

Progress M-11M departs space station
The Progress M-11M (43P) ISS cargo ship, loaded with trash and discarded items, undocked from the aft end of the Zvezda service module at 4:37 a.m. CDT Aug. 23, 2011, as the station passed 230 statute miles over northern China.
The Progress was commanded to a parking orbit a safe distance away from the station for engineering tests and experiments. It will be deorbited on Sept. 1 for a destructive re-entry over the Pacific ocean.

Progress M-11M deorbited
The Progress M-11M cargo ship completed its solo mission under the 'Radar Progress' mission, aimed at defining the density, particle sizes and reflectivity of the ionosphere environment around the spacecraft, which is caused by the operations of its liquid propellant engines.
The retro-fire command was given at 09:34:31 UT. The burn lasted 180 seconds, providing a delta-V of 91.8 meters per second, after which the Progress re-entered the atmosphere and burned up above the pre-set area of the South Pacific.
Surviving fragments, if any, came down at 40° 8' southern latitude and 135° 2' western longitude, at 10:21:41 UT.
