Russia's Progress M-63 space cargo ship was successfully 'buried' on Monday at a spaceship cemetery in the southern Pacific, a Mission Control spokesman said. "Having partly burned up in the Earth's dense atmosphere, Progress ended its existence in the designated area in the southern Pacific," the spokesman said.

In February, Progress M-63 delivered 2.5 metric tons of cargo, including food, equipment and other supplies, to the International Space Station (ISS).

Meanwhile, Mission Control is preparing for the launch of the Soyuz TMA-12 delivery vehicle on April 8 from the Baikonur space center in Kazakhstan.

The spacecraft is to deliver the members of the 17th ISS expedition - the Russian astronauts Commander Sergei Volkov and Flight Engineer Oleg Kononenko, as well as the first South Korean female astronaut, Yi So-yeon - to the orbiting station.

The docking of the Soyuz TMA-12 spacecraft with the ISS is estimated to take place at 5:00 p.m. Moscow time [13:00 GMT] on April 10.
