July 31, 2012 ISS_Progress spaceship undocks from ISS for experiment
In the early hours of Tuesday, at 01:16am Moscow time, the Russian cargo spaceship Progress successfully undocked from the International Space Station (ISS). It will remain in orbit until mid-August to carry out a scientific experiment, before plunging into the Pacific Ocean. Progress M-15M engaged with the ISS #39; Pirs module on Sunday. The docking was controlled by the Kurs-NA system, an upgraded version of the older automatic docking system, which is currently used on the Russian Progress and Soyuz vehicles. The previous attempt to test the new Kurs on July 24 failed. The spacecraft, which earlier docked to deliver fresh supplies, had undocked from the ISS ready for the test. It got into a position 161 kilometers from the ISS and began re-docking. But when the Progress was just 15 kilometers from its target, the system ordered that the maneuver be aborted. Engineers managed to track down the problem to a proximity sensor fault. The Great Day of Annihilation http://www.facebook.comFrom:Felonious VendettaViews:0 0ratingsTime:03:59More inNews Politics
