Some (unofficial) info on next launches (from NK):Progress launch - June 30Soyuz launch July 20ishSoyuz landing is delayed to June.
Does somebody have the software to propagate the orbit to get an idea of the ground track of the final orbit? Would love to see such a map, thanks!
Here's an article for the upcoming demise of Progress M-27M and the evaluations into the near-term schedule.http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2015/05/progress-m-27m-demise-russia-schedule/Once the changes are confirmed (or we have a better idea of what the plan is), Mr. ISS will do his thing with an article

I`ve just watched it pass overhead on Buenos Aires, at first it was quite dim but then it got quite bright for a moment, then dim again and bright. I guess it is still tumbling and that is why it changed intensity. Predictions so far put reentry between 1 and 2 am UTC
