Progress undocks from ISS
Posted: Tue, Apr 8, 2014, 7:03 AM ET (1103 GMT)
A Progress cargo spacecraft undocked from the International Space Station on Monday morning, freeing up a docking port for another Progress spacecraft to be launched this week. The Progress M-22M spacecraft undocked from the station's Pirs module at 9:58 am EDT (1358 GMT) Monday and departed the vicinity of the station shortly thereafter. The spacecraft will remain in orbit until April 18 for technology tests before reentering over the South Pacific Ocean. The undocking clears the way for the launch of the Progress M-23M from Baikonur Cosmodrome on Wednesday at 11:26 am EDT (1526 GMT, 9:26 pm local time). That spacecraft is scheduled to dock with the Pirs module about six hours later.
