Russian space craft carrying ISS garbage plunges into in Pacific MOSCOW (AFP) Jun 16, 2005 Russia's Progress cargo ship, carrying garbage from the International Space Station (ISS) plunged into the Pacific early Thursday after undocking from the space station, space officials said. "The remains of the Progress M-52 and bits of garbage sank some four kilometers deep in a specially reserved area between New Zealand and South America," Russian mission control was quoted by the ITAR-TASS news agency as saying. The practice would not harm the Earth's ecology, as most of the ship and its cargo burned to fragments as it entered the planet's atmosphere, officials assured.
