Loaded with trash and obso­lete items, the un-pilot­ed Russ­ian ISS Progress 56 car­go ship undocked from the Pirs Dock­ing Com­part­ment at the Inter­na­tion­al Space Sta­tion Oct. 27, three months after arriv­ing to deliv­er more than two and a half tons of sup­plies for the Expe­di­tion crew mem­ber res­i­dents. The Progress moved to a safe dis­tance away from the com­plex for three weeks of engi­neer­ing tests by Russ­ian flight con­trollers before its sched­uled deor­bit­ing Nov. 19 to burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere.
