NASA dixit:
“An unpiloted Russian resupply vehicle undocked from the International Space Station April 15 after spending five months attached to it. After delivering 2.5 tons of food, fuel and supplies for the station crewmembers, the International Space Station Progress 49 vehicle separated from the station and fired thrusters to back away to a safe distance for a series of engine firings to gather engineering data for Russian ground controllers. Now loaded with trash, the Progress is scheduled to be deorbited on April 21 to burn up in the Earth\’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean.”
