Today, the Progress MS-23 cargo ship, which worked on the International Space Station for more than six months, was deorbited, entered the atmosphere and collapsed. The press service of Roscosmos spoke about this.

According to Mission Control, unburnt structural elements of the ship fell in a non-navigable area of the South Pacific Ocean.

The Progress MS-23 spacecraft was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on May 24, 2023 by a Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle and delivered 2.5 tons of cargo to the ISS.

Its place at the station will be taken by Progress MS-25, which is scheduled to be launched by the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle on December 1, at 12:25:11 Moscow time.

The ship must deliver about 2500 kg of cargo on board the ISS, including 515 kg of fuel in refueling tanks, 420 kg of drinking water and 40 kg of compressed nitrogen, as well as 1553 kg of resource equipment and stowage for scientific experiments, food, medical and sanitary-hygienic means in the cargo compartment to ensure the work and life of the crew.
