tuckstar Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Looks like the latest progress mission has gone a bit wrong. Technical difficulties have left it in a low orbit and spinning. Russia can't gain control. If it's gonna re-enter I hope we get a good show. http://sen.com/news/russian-cargo-enters-wrong-orbit-experiences-antenna-problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yes, that is a shame especially for the long-duration crew of six. 2.5 tonnes of supplies is a lot to lose. Tesco are normally right on time every Saturday delivering our supplies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Type-R Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 This was posted an hour ago by the ISS twitter feed...... @ISS101: No new orbital data for Progress M-27M. Based on the initial orbit, the craft is under 18 hours from re-entry if no maneuver is made. #ISS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Whoops. That could be spectacular when it comes in. Keep an eye out on here, they track stuff coming back in. http://www.satview.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Not looking good, still no control, tumbling 360 degrees every 5 seconds, debris picked up around it on radar... http://www.vandenberg.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123446527#.VUDAFYuIMb8.twitter Looks like the takeaway's going to be cold, even if it does make it.

Daz Type-R Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Latest from twitter.... @planet4589: Russia has announced that the Progress M-27M mission is abandoned; it will reenter due to atmospheric drag in 1 to 2 weeks time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
