Fragments of the Progress MS-27 cargo spaceship which did not burn up upon re-entering the atmosphere have fallen into the Pacific Ocean, Russia’s state space corporation said.
La Agencia Espacial rusa Roscosmos ha confirmado que el carguero Progress M-27M, que sufrió problemas técnicos tras su lanzamiento el pasado 28 de abril que le impidieron alcanzar la órbita prevista, se desintegrará en contacto con la atmósfera el jueves por la noche o el viernes de madrugada. Algunos fragmentos podrían alcanzar la Tierra.
Russia’s Progress M-27M cargo spacecraft will be deorbited on May 8 and part of its debris may reach the Earth, Russian space agency Roscosmos told reporters on Wednesday.
The debris of the Progress M-27M cargo spacecraft, which failed to dock with the International Space Station, will not reach Earth, Vladimir Solovyov, the first deputy general constructor of the Energia space corporation, said on Wednesday.
An unmanned Russian cargo spacecraft ferrying supplies to the International Space Station is plunging back to Earth and apparently out of control, an official told AFP.
The docking of the launched on Tuesday morning Progress M-27M cargo
spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS) has been
indefinitely postponed, a rocket and space industry source told TASS.
