[b]Progress MS-21 deorbit delayed[/b] The main operational control group of RSC Energia made a decision to deorbit the Progress MS-21 cargo spacecraft on Sunday (Feb. 19). After the Progress MS-21 undocked from the International Space Station, a survey of its outer surface was carried out to determine the cause of the depressurization of the thermal control system. The deorbiting of the ship, which was scheduled for today (Feb. 18) at 07:03 Moscow time (11:03 p.m. EST Feb. 17), was postponed to analyze the information received. The deorbit burn is now scheduled for Feb. 19 at 06:15 Moscow time (10:15 p.m. EST Feb. 18). According to a Roscosmos forecast, any surviving fragments from the spacecraft are expected to fall into a remote area of the South Pacific Ocean at 06:57 Moscow time.
