The Russian Progress MS-15 resupply ship that undocked from the International Space Station on Tuesday splashed down in the Pacific Ocean outside shipping routes, Russia’s State Space Corporation Roscosmos announced.

"The Progress MS-15 quit the Earth’s orbit and ceased to exist. The spaceship’s non-combustible fragments that did not burn up in the dense layers of the atmosphere fell at about 12:13 p.m. Moscow time into the ‘spacecraft cemetery’ in the non-navigable area of the Southern Pacific," Roscosmos specified.

Roscosmos earlier reported that it had fulfilled all the required procedures to announce the area temporarily dangerous for shipping and flights.

The Russian Progress MS-15 cargo spacecraft undocked from the orbital outpost at 08:21 a.m. Moscow time.
