Roscosmos Progress 91 Undocked from Space Station
The unpiloted Roscosmos Progress 91 spacecraft undocked from the International Space Station at 11:45 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, backing away from the station for a deorbit maneuver and destructive re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere to dispose of trash loaded by the crew.
The spacecraft launched on Feb. 27 on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, carrying about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the crew aboard the International Space Station. After a two-day in-orbit journey, the spacecraft arrived at the orbiting laboratory on March 1 and automatically docked to the aft port of the station’s Zvezda module.
