Russian ship detaches from space station
Moscow (UPI) Dec 22, 2007 A Russian cargo craft detached from the International Space Station Saturday for a month-long independent voyage. The Progress M-61, which is at the end of its service life, is to be used as a platform for experiments until the middle of next month when its orbit will begin to disintegrate and it will burn up in the Earth's atmosphere, RIA Novosti reported Saturday. The same was done previously with the Progress M-60. Automated Progress spacecrafts deliver food and water to the station's crew, fuel to maintain the station's orbit and other cargo and research equipment.
