ISS orbit is to be increased by 1,5 km with the help of Progress cargo vehicle thrusters docked with the station at night on March 13, - the spokesman for Rocket and space industry reports.

A Russian Progress-M spacecraft burned up over the Pacific Ocean Tuesday evening in a planned descent following a successful mission to the International Space Station.

Progress M-20M cargo vehicle, undocked from the ISS on February 3, 2014, that has been performing controlled flight for 8 days during which scientific experiment was carried out on its board, will be deorbited on February 11, - Mission Control Centre representative reported.

Russia successfully started its 2014 space flight program. Progress M-22M cargo vehicle  launched from Baikonur spaceport on February 5, 20.23…

“Aquarium-AQH experiment is planned to be conducted in the American ISS segment, in Japanese Kibo module in JAXA Aquatic Habitat (AQH) aquarium. Among other biological objects sent to the station are wigglers and flat earthworms”, - the spokesman noted. Russian-Japanese Aquarium-AQH experiment is aimed at the exploration of space flight impact on closed ecological system and its elements (plants, animals, fish) sustainability under microgravity conditions.

Progress M-20M has been a part of the ISS from July 28,2013. At the present time the spacecraft is undocked from the station and sent for controlled flight during this flight “Curve” scientific experiment will be conducted onboard the vehicle. “Progress will be sank in non-navigational area of the Pacific ocean on February 11, 2014, - the spokesman stated.

Undocking is scheduled for February 3, 20:20 Moscow time. The spacecraft will perform controlled flight for “the Curve” scientific experiment. After that the vehicle will be sank in the Pacific Ocean on February 11, - the spokesman stated. The Curve scientific experiment is aimed at microacceleration level detection, development of mathematical model of gravitational conditions onboard the station and exploration of onboard systems operating modes impact on the ISS flight conditions.

The first new generation Aist-2 small satellite is to be created in 2015, Samara Progress Central Assembly and Design Engineering Bureau reports, who will develop this satellite.

Space Industry specialists go on preparing Progress M-22M cargo vehicle for the launch according to ISS provision program at Baikonur spaceport.
