MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 25th November, 2019) Russia's Progress MS-12 cargo spacecraft will undock from the International Space Station on November 29, as scheduled, and will not be affected by the postponement of Progress MS-13's launch to the station, a source in the Russian space industry told Sputnik on Monday.
Earlier on Monday, a source at the Baikonur spaceport told Sputnik that the Progress MS-13 launch had been delayed from December 1 to December 6 over technical issues.
"Planned undocking of Progress MS-12 from the Pirs module of the ISS will not be delayed," a source said.
Progress MS-13 is set to arrive at the module on December 8 and replace Progress MS-12. Its initial launch was postponed at NASA's request so as to not interrupt the docking of the US Dragon cargo spacecraft.
