Posted: Wed, Aug 24, 2011, 7:48 AM ET (1148 GMT)
A Progress cargo spacecraft undocked from the ISS Tuesday to make way for a new spacecraft scheduled for launch Wednesday. The Progress M-11M cargo spacecraft undocked from the aft port on the Zvezda service module at 5:37 am EDT (0937 GMT) Tuesday. Instead of immediately maneuvering to deorbit, the spacecraft will remain in orbit through the end of the month to perform experiments and engineering tests before deorbiting on September 1. A new Progress, M-12M, is scheduled for launch at 9 am EDT (1300 GMT) Wednesday; it will dock with the station on Friday.
