Another Russian spacecraft left the dock at the space station the day before, after a six-month mission, including transporting two tons of personal items and scientific equipment.

Earlier, enterprises in the Russian space industry were standing in front of a wave of demotion and investigating the reason why the Tien Tien ship fell into the Altai Mountains on August 24.

When it was successful, in the 6th minute of the flight, the "Progress M-12M" freighter was suddenly deviant and crashed in Altai. There must be an explanation for the fact that the previous Progress ship had been successfully launched 135 times, suddenly falling.

However, Russian experts believe that the Tien Bo train accident, which is currently the only means of transporting goods to ISS, does not affect the operation of the Station. There are "three systems" on board - all necessities are stored three times.

At that time, there were 6 people on ISS - three Russians, two Americans and one Japanese.

ISS partners - Russia, the US Space Agency, Europe, Canada and Japan - jointly continue to assess the situation after the Tien Bo ship failed to launch.
