MOSCOW - Russia's space agency said Friday the unmanned cargo ship that went out of control en route to the International Space Station has fallen to Earth over the Pacific Ocean.
A brief statement from Roscosmos said the Progress craft entered the planet's atmosphere about 5 am (2 am GMT) on Friday. Progress was expected to mostly burn up from the friction of the re-entry and there were no reports of fragments being spotted.
The statement said the re-entry was over the central part of the ocean but did not give coordinates.
The cargo ship was launched on April 28, but entered the wrong orbit and went into a spin.
The next launch of a supply ship, by the US company SpaceX, is planned for June.
