scenario. As Jorge has pointed out, launching a Progress or a Soyuz
down into a 28.5 degree inclination and at the Hubble altitude is well
out of the Soyuz launcher's capability.

Is that the case even if the progress only carries very light cargo like
a bunch of replacement tiles and a tube of krazy glew ?

I terms of depresurization, if there are truly no operable valves to
depressurise a progress in space, couldn't they just use a space hammer
and a long nail to punch a hole in the pressure vessel ?

In 1G environment, would it be easy for an adult to use hammer to punch
a hole through a progress wall with a long nail ?
