MOSCOW, August 1 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's Progress M-59 space cargo ship carrying garbage from the International Space Station has undocked, and its unburned fragments will land in the Pacific Ocean at 23:26 Moscow time (7:26 p.m. GMT).
"The ship has undocked from the ISS in normal mode," a Mission Control spokesman said.
Mission Control is preparing another cargo ship - Progress M-61 - for launch to the orbital station in line with the ISS flight program.
Mission Control said last week it successfully adjusted the station's orbit in preparation for the docking of the U.S. space shuttle Endeavour.
The launch of the NASA STS-118 mission is targeted for August 7. It will be the 22nd flight to the International Space Station (ISS) and the first flight for Endeavour since 2002.
