An unmanned freighter launched to the International Space Station (ISS) has been lost.

The Russian space agency said the Progress M-12M cargo ship was not placed in the correct orbit by its rocket and fell back to Earth.

The vessel was carrying three tonnes of supplies for the ISS astronauts.
 
Too many failures lately for the Russians...
 
Let's hope it wasn't carrying the Caviar and Vodka.
 
Ive got visions of the astronauts having to live on Pot Noodles & baked beans........ :D

oooo, I wouldn't want to be breathing the air up on the ISS if that's the case... :-SBD

But, at least they'd be able to move about with ease, with their built in "thruster pack".... :-rofl2
 
From previous articles on the ISS, there is a backup of some six tonnes of supplies stashed away in the compartments, which gives a full crew some nine months of comfortable living.
