View of a Progress spacecraft after undocking from the ISS during Expedition Three
ISS003-E-8158 (22 November 2001) --- Backdropped by the blackness of space, an unpiloted Progress supply vehicle departs from the Zvezda Service Module’s docking port on the International Space Station (ISS) carrying its load of trash and unneeded equipment to be deorbited and burned up in the atmosphere. Its undocking makes room for Progress 6, scheduled for launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 12:24 p.m. (CST) on Monday, November 26, 2001. The new Progress, filled with fresh supplies, is planned to dock to the station at 1:45 p.m. (CST) on Wednesday, November 28, 2001. This image was taken with a digital still camera.
