Russia says its Progress unmanned cargo spacecraft will begin scientific experiments Friday after undocking from the International Space Station.
The Russian Space Agency says the spacecraft's mission will last five days. It says the spacecraft will then burn up as it re-enters Earth's atmosphere and its fragments will fall into a remote section of the Pacific Ocean.
The spacecraft arrived at the International Space Station in late January to deliver supplies, including food, oxygen and water to the crew along with equipment for experiments.
俄罗斯表示，俄罗斯“进步号”无人驾驶货运飞船与国际空间站分离后，将于星期五开始进行科学实验。
俄罗斯航天局说，这艘飞船的使命将持续5天。俄罗斯航天局说，这艘飞船此后将在返回地球大气层时被烧毁，它的残骸将落入太平洋的偏远海域。
这艘飞船1月底抵达国际空间站，向空间站的宇航员运送食物、氧气和水，以及实验器材等物资。
