New Horizons Sees Pluto and Charon

Progress Spacecraft Fails To Reach ISS With Its Cargo.ABC World News (4/29, story 4, 2:15, Muir), in continuing coverage, broadcast that the Russian Progress cargo spacecraft that went “out of control” following its launch is now “doomed” and falling back to Earth without delivering its “vital supplies” to the ISS. ISS astronaut Scott Kelly said, “The program plans for these kinds of things to happen. They’re very unfortunate when they do. But we do have supplies on board.” Reporter Matt Gutman said that because of other recent launch failures, the astronauts may be “in jeopardy” if June’s SpaceX cargo mission is not successful. Meanwhile, Gutman noted that scientists do not know when or where the Progress spacecraft will reenter Earth’s atmosphere.
