Progress 39 Supply Vehicle
ISS026-E-028490 (20 Feb. 2011) --- Backdropped by a blue and white part of Earth, the unpiloted ISS Progress 39 supply vehicle appears to be very small as it departs from the International Space Station at 8:12 a.m. (EST) on Feb. 20, 2011. At 11:12 a.m., the deorbit burn braked the trash-loaded cargo ship into its re-entry trajectory over the Pacific Ocean, where it was burned up in Earth’s atmosphere.
