Filled with trash, Russian cargo craft Progress MS-15 (ISS-76P) undocked from the International Space Station’s (ISS) Pirs module at 0521 GMT on 9 February. Just over three hours later it fired its engines in a deorbit burn at 0830 GMT. The spacecraft made a controlled re-entry with most of the craft breaking up and burning up in the atmosphere. Any surviving debris fell into the South Pacific at 0913 GMT.

All times from Jonathan McDowell.
