MCC made the destruction of "Progress"

Progress M-27M will be de-orbited when the PMU will not be able to reconstruct the Conn. At the same time, dock it with the ISS does not work even in manual mode. In addition, it was discovered that the Flag of Victory that "Progress" must be delivered to the station, you'll be there for a month.

In the mission control Center admitted the possibility of withdrawal from the orbit of the spacecraft "Progress". "If you take a ship management will not work, it may be decided to begin preparations for providing as safe as possible its attention from orbit", - quotes "Interfax" an anonymous source at MCC.

If uncontrolled rotation of the ship continues, dock it with the ISS is not possible even in manual mode. "Time still failed to resolve the space truck mode twist to stabilize it, the maneuver by hand or by teleoperation control docking becomes very dangerous: you can kill the crew and the station", - RIA Novosti quoted an anonymous source at MCC. A more probable scenario is the reduction of the orbit of "Progress" until its complete combustion in the atmosphere.

In addition, it became known that the Flag of Victory, immersed in "Progress", located on the ISS for a month. "It was delivered on 27 March 2015 with the manned spacecraft Soyuz TMA-16M with a crew consisting of commander astronaut Gennady Padalka, flight engineers Mikhail Kornienko and NASA astronaut Scott Kelly," says the Department of public relations of the Russian space Agency.

On the night of April 29, MCC workers made several attempts to establish a connection with the "Progress". As written, the Days.Roux, on Board were transferred to several teams aimed at stabilizing the position of the ship and the reduction of its rotational axis. According to our information, the attempt was unsuccessful.

Cargo vehicle "Progress M-27M" began on April 28 at 10:09 from Baikonur cosmodrome with the help of the carrier rocket "Soyuz-2.1 a". It was assumed that after 6 hours, it will dock with the International space station, but after starting the MCC experts are unable to receive telemetry information from the Board of "Progress". Besides all this, the ship flew into a higher orbit than planned - the excess being equal to 30 km "Progress" started to spin, and with him ended to receive information.
