Hmm Progress M-29M is supposed to undock from the ISS in a few minutes time from now (14:14 UTC) but I don't see any coverage at NASA TV.....did they just decide not to cover it like last time?

And it has undocked from the ISS at 14:15:30 UTC: http://www.roscosmos.ru/22105/
The spacecraft will stay in orbit till April 8 to perform an experiment involving spinning the Progress.

What is it they are testing with a spinning Progress?

However, mission control did not immediately deorbited the old spacecraft but sent it into an autonomous flight for the Izgib ("bending") experiment aimed to study spacecraft dynamics during spinning, gravitational and solar orientation and to measure resulting levels of micro-gravity onboard.

Thank you.
