The Progress MS-24 spacecraft undocked from the Zvezda Service Module of the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS) at 02:00 GMT on Tuesday.
Footage shows the cargo ship departing the station, before leaving orbit and disintegrating in the Earth's atmosphere.
Roscosmos Mission Control Centre said that most of the spacecraft burned up, with some elements falling over the South Pacific Ocean.
According to the Russian state corporation, the spacecraft launched on August 23, 2023, delivering more than 2,500 kilograms of cargo to the station. It also made eight corrections to the station's orbit, including one unscheduled correction to avoid a possible collision with space debris.
The cargo spacecraft is scheduled to be replaced by the new Progress MS-26, launching from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on February 17.
