The Progress MS-26 cargo spacecraft successfully undocked from the International Space Station (ISS) on Tuesday.
Footage shows the spacecraft flying away from the Zvezda Service Module.
According to Roscomsmos, the cargo ship was 'deorbited, entered the dense layers of the atmosphere and disintegrated'.
"Unburned elements of its structure fell in a non-navigable area of the South Pacific Ocean," the statement from Roscomsmos’ press service read.
The spacecraft, which had been operating for six months on the Russian Orbital Segment of the International Space Station, took off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on February 15, delivering two and a half tonnes of cargo to the ISS, including equipment for scientific experiments, clothing, food, drinking water, medical supplies, as well as fuel for the station.
The cargo ship is set to be replaced by the new Progress MS-28, which is scheduled to launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on August 15.
