Astronaut shares photos of Progress 77 and Pirs burning up in the atmosphere

Astronaut Thomas Pesquet currently rises an ISS and often has a useful Nikon D5 camera. Astronauts in the past share some beautiful images of the earth from orbits. Recently, he shared several images from the Russian DC1 DC1 docking module and the progress of 77 cargo spacecraft on fire in the atmosphere.

After nearly 20 years of service, PIRS was cut off from the space station, and the progress of the cargo spacecraft was used to encourage itself and the docking module into the Earth’s atmosphere, where they burned before hitting the ground. Pesquet says the ISS is 90 degrees which allows it to fly the stomach first to help maneuver.

A few hours after his departure, the astronauts rose the space station had a front row seat to the fireball as a spacecraft and docking module was destroyed. Astronaut noted that he could see small pieces floating away from the main fireworks because both spacecraft was destroyed by the heat produced by the atmospheric friction.

The docking module and the progress of 77 caught fire in the atmosphere above the South Pacific Ocean. With a loss cargo spacecraft docking port, the other side of the Russian segment from the space station is ready to accept the new Russian multipurpose laboratory module.

Laboratory modules are finally sent to ISS after years of delay. At present, this module, called Nauka, is scheduled to anchor with ISS on Thursday, July 29. This module was launched in orbit on July 21 and will act as a new science facility, anchored port, and spacecraft for the space station. NASA will display the scope of the pier start at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, July 29. Pirs has become part of the space station since September 2001.
