“Progress” with the Banner of Victory falls to Earth – BFM.Ru

«Progress” made three turns around the Earth, and during that time it was not possible to fully re-establish contact. The ship still does not transmit telemetry information

According to Tass, citing a source in the Mission Control Center (MCC), the deviation space truck “Progress M-27M” from the nominal orbit is not as critical, but without correcting it may be lost. Its lowest point in the orbit of approximately 120-130 km. Thus, the ship “catchy” atmosphere.

According to the data of the Joint Command Aerospace Defense of North America (NORAD), «Progress” was put into orbit with a perigee of 123 km and an apogee of 306 kilometers. It’s called a short-lived in the absence of correction ship can See also: Flight without progress. With the delivery of the Banner of Victory on the ISS had problems to fall, writes dni.ru.

«Progress” made three turns around the Earth, and during that time it was not possible to fully re-establish contact. Ship still not transmit telemetry information. Earlier it was reported that the telemetry received, but this information is not confirmed. In the Mission Control Center reported that on April 28 there were only two attempts to restore full ties. “On the fifth turn of the ship will come from the Russian zone of communication and will it be tomorrow,” – said a spokesman for the Mission Control Center.

Meanwhile, it became known that launched docking space truck “Progress M-27M” with ISS moved from April 30 for an indefinite period. “At the moment the ship very quickly and uncontrollably rotate around its axis, one revolution – in just a few seconds. Teams from the Mission Control Center aboard persist, telemetry is also intermittent, “- says a representative of the MCC.

The cause abnormal situation when you run space truck” Progress “is likely to become incorrect operation of one of the steps carrier rocket “Soyuz”. As we are assured experts, the ship lost contact because the rocket led him into an unplanned orbit. The situation is not due to the fact that he did not open two of the five docking antenna system “course».
