Officials have ‘lost control’ of a Russian spacecraft on its way to deliver supplies to the International Space Station.
Said to be spinning out of control high above the Earth by Russian media, the Progress M-27M craft is now expected to fall out of orbit and burn up upon re-entry into the atmosphere.
A spokesperson told Russia’s Interfax news agency that an inability to contact the craft means that docking with the ISS is now out of the question.
“The possibility of the craft linking up with the ISS is now not worth it,” the source said. “The main thing now is to ensure its controlled and safe de-orbiting.”
