NASA release (Photo credit: RSC Energia) Progress MS-11 reaches space and races to stationCarrying more than 3.5 tons of food, fuel and supplies for the International Space Station crew, the unpiloted Russian Progress MS-11 spacecraft launched on Thursday (April 4) at 7:01 a.m. EDT (1101 GMT; 4:01 p.m. local time) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The resupply ship reached preliminary orbit and deployed its solar arrays and navigational antennas as planned. Following a two-orbit rendezvous, the cargo craft will dock to the orbiting laboratory at 10:25 a.m. EDT (1425 GMT). Progress MS-11 will remain docked at the station for about three months before departing in July for its deorbit in Earth’s atmosphere. |

Progress MS-11 departs space stationRussia's Progress MS-11 spacecraft undocked from the International Space Station on Monday (July 29), backing away from the Pirs docking port at 5:44 a.m. EDT (1044 GMT). Loaded with trash, Progress MS-11 was directed to re-enter the atmosphere for a fiery demise over the Pacific Ocean. From Expedition 60 flight engineer Nick Hague on Twitter: Said goodbye to Progress 72 today to make room for 73P showing up on Wednesday. Caught this shot of it during reentry. It looked like a big firework that lasted minutes – flickering, sparking, and pulsing with brightness before it faded into the darkness. | |
