MOSCOW, August 21. /TASS/. The Progress MS-22 cargo spacecraft undocked from the Zvezda module of the International Space Station (ISS) on Monday, according to live coverage by Russia’s space corporation Roscosmos.The spaceship is expected to fire braking engines at 5:58 a.m. Moscow time, after which it will deorbit and enter the Earth’s atmosphere. The bulk of the spaceship will burn in the atmosphere, while its fireproof elements will fall in a non-navigable area of the South Pacific.The Progress MS-22 has been docked at the ISS since February 11 when it delivered more than 2.5 metric tons of cargo to the space station. Over the period, the cargo ship carried out evasion maneuvers three times to protect the ISS from space debris and readjusted the orbit seven times as scheduled.Next week, the Progress MS-24 cargo spacecraft will dock at the ISS instead of the Progress MS-22. The launch of the Soyuz-2.1a carrier rocket with the Progress MS-24 is scheduled from the Baikonur cosmodrome on August 23. It is expected to reach the ISS in two days’ time.
MOSCOW, August 21. /TASS/. Unburnt elements of the structure of the Progress MS-22 cargo spacecraft have been scuttled in the Pacific, Roscosmos reported on Monday."Today, the Progress MS-22 was deorbited. It entered the atmosphere and ended up in a non-navigable area of the South Pacific," Russia’s state-run space corporation said.The cargo craft undocked from the International Space Station (ISS) at 2:50 a.m. Moscow time on Monday before launching a free-flight.
The first satellite, Killick-1, will collect data for a one-year period that will enable sea-ice monitoring from space at a significantly lower cost compared to traditional satellite remote sensing. It launches this fall.

Russian module "Zvezda" took the ISS away from space debrisToday, the International Space Station's orbit was adjusted using the engines of the Russian Zvezda service module to avoid a possible collision with space debris.The module's engines were turned on at 18:00 Moscow time. They worked 21.5 seconds. and gave an impulse of 0.3 m/s. As a result, according to preliminary data, the height of the ISS orbit decreased by 500 m. Orbit parameters after correction: minimum height 414.37 km; maximum 434.59 km.The evasive maneuver will not affect Friday's docking of the Progress MS-24 cargo spacecraft with the ISS.
