MOSCOW, November 19. /TASS/. 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.

"After operating as part of the International Space Station’s (ISS) Russian segment for six months, the cargo spacecraft was de-orbited, entered the dense atmosphere and disintegrated. Unburned elements of the spacecraft fell into a non-navigable section of the southern Pacific," it said.

The spaceship undocked from the ISS at 3:53 p.m. Moscow time (12:53 a.m. GMT) on Tuesday, brought its engines to a halt and switched to a free flight.

Progress MS-27 docked to 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 to the ISS on November 23.
