‘Roscosmos”: undocking of the Progress MS-26 spacecraft from the ISS is scheduled for August 13

Undocking of the Progress MS-26 transport cargo spacecraft from the International Space Station (ISS) is scheduled for August 13. The date was named in the state corporation Roscosmos.

On 17 July, cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chub and Alexander Grebenkin, who are on the ISS, performed the stowage of the equipment to be removed in the spacecraft, and also carried out the supercharging of the station with nitrogen from the Progress MS-26 cylinders to seven millimetres of mercury column.

On the morning of April 26, the ISS orbit was raised to one kilometre by Progress MS-26, whose engines operated for 403.2 seconds, producing a pulse of 0.6 metres per second.

The spacecraft went to the ISS on February 15 on a Soyuz-2.1a rocket launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
