Failed Russian spaceship falls from orbit
(MENAFN- Arab News) MOSCOW: Russia's space agency says the unmanned cargo ship that went out of control en route to the International Space Station has fallen to Earth over the Pacific Ocean.
A brief statement from Roscosmos says the Progress craft entered the planet's atmosphere about 5 a.m. (0200 GMT) on Friday. Progress was expected to mostly burn up from the friction of the re-entry and there were no reports of fragments being spotted.
The statement said the re-entry was over the central part of the ocean but did not give coordinates.
The cargo ship was launched on April 28 but entered the wrong orbit and went into a spin.
The next launch of a supply ship by the US company SpaceX is planned for June.
