The “Progress MS-10” spacecraft is de-orbited

On 4 June 2019, in accordance with the flight program of the International Space Station (ISS), the “Progress MS-10” cargo spaceship, having completed its mission, undocked from the ISS.

The onboard computer of the ship gave the command to disconnect at 11:39 (Moscow time) and at 11:40:30 (Moscow time) the physical separation of the ship and the station passed.

In accordance with the calculations, made by the specialists of the ballistic-navigation support service of the Mission Control Center, on 4 June at 14:46 (Moscow time), the engine of the “Progress MS-10” spaceship was put on braking, after which the spaceship went out of orbit.

The fall of the fireproof elements of the cargo ship structure occurred at 15:29 (Moscow time) in a given area of the non-navigable Pacific Ocean waters.

“Progress MS-10” was a member of the orbital station from November 18, 2018.
