Cosmonautics. An accident in orbit (2015)

On April 28, 2015, the Progress M-27M transport cargo ship launched from Baikonur to the ISS and disappeared from radar 1.5 seconds before the estimated time of separation of the 3rd stage of the launch vehicle.

MCC specialists tried to restore communication with the ship for two days, then it was decided to abandon docking with the ISS and begin bringing the ship out of orbit with subsequent flooding.
