Today, November 25, 2021, at 14:23 Moscow time, the cargo ship “Progress MS-17” was minted from the multipurpose laboratory module “Science” of the International Space Station. After 4 hours, it was reduced from the orbit, and the unburned parts were flooded in the disadvantaged part of the Pacific Ocean.
at 17:34:51 Moscow time MSK was included in braking, spending almost 4 minutes, he informed the “truck” of a braking impulse of 118 meters per second. After that the “Progress of MS-17” came up with an near-earth orbit and stopped his existence. Fragments of the ship in dense layers of the atmosphere fell at 18:17:12 Moscow time on the “Cosmic Craft Cemetery” in the disadvantaged area of the southern Pacific, 1.8 thousand km from the city of Wellington and 7.7 thousand km from Santiago city.
The PROGRESS “Progress MS-17” was reworked from the Hermadapter of the Science module together with the transitional spacer, which ensured the docking of the transport ships “Union MS” and “Progress MS”. Now the multi-purpose laboratory module is ready for docking the M-mind MM-MO-MODE cargo ship, which is scheduled for November 26 at 18:26 Moscow time.
Recall, the Soyuz-2.1A carrier rocket successfully brought the “Progress MS-17” spacecraft on the target orbit on June 30, 2021. After two days, he docoured up to the small research module “Search” of the Russian segment of the ISS. During its flight, elements of the atomic scheme of convergence with the International Space Station were worked out. A month ago, the ship was performed: on October 21, he was rejected from “search” and spent 29 hours in autonomous flight. During this time, he made several maneuvers and moved away from the ISS by 185 kilometers. The next day, the ship “Progress MS-17” successfully docked to “science” in automatic mode.
