Progress MS-27 leaves ISS to be replaced by another cargo spacecraft
The spacecraft arrived at the ISS on June 1, delivering 2.5 metric tons of payloads, including equipment, clothing, food and gifts for cosmonauts
MOSCOW, November 19. /TASS/. The Progress MS-27 cargo spacecraft has undocked from the Poisk Module of the International Space Station’s Russian segment ahead of the launch of another space truck, according to the Roscosmos Russian State Space Corporation’s broadcast.
The spacecraft will bring its engines to a halt at 7:11 p.m. Moscow time (4:11 p.m. GMT), making it possible for the vehicle to deorbit and enter the Earth’s atmosphere. Progress MS-27 will burn in the atmosphere almost completely, and its remaining fragments will splash down in a non-navigable area in the southern part of the Pacific Ocean at about 7:51 p.m. Moscow time (4:51 p.m. GMT).
The spacecraft arrived at the ISS on June 1, delivering 2.5 metric tons of payloads, including equipment, clothing, food and gifts for cosmonauts.
Progress MS-27 will be replaced by Progress MS-29, which is expected to be launched from the Baikonur spaceport atop a Soyuz-2.1a rocket on November 21 and dock with the ISS on November 23.
