Russian Progress cargo spacecraft leaves International Space Station

The Russian automated Progress M-26M cargo spacecraft has undocked from the Zvezda service module of the International Space Station (ISS), according to NASA. The unpiloted spacecraft, which NASA identified as Progress 58, left the space station at 6:19 a.m. EDT, Friday, August 14, moving away from the orbiting laboratory to a safe location where it will remain until flight engineers command it to reenter Earth’s atmosphere. The intense heat of reentry will cause the craft to burn up in the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. The undocking of the Progress 58 vehicle cleared the Zvezda docking port for the relocation of the Soyuz TMA-16M spacecraft on August 28. More
