[b]Progress M-26M departs space station[/b] The Progress M-25M (58P) freighter undocked from the International Space Station early Friday morning (Aug. 14) at 5:19 a.m. CDT (1019 GMT) while the craft were flying 250 miles over northwestern China. The Progress then moved away from the orbiting laboratory to await Russian flight engineers commanding it to reenter Earth's atmosphere later on Friday morning. The departure clears the Zvezda service module's docking port for the relocation of Soyuz TMA-16M, scheduled for Aug. 28. Gennady Padalka, Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko will move their spacecraft from the Poisk module to Zvedzda. The relocation supports the arrival of the next Soyuz to the station on Sept. 2.
