VLADIVOSTOK - Having worked at the International Space Station (ISS) for about six months, Russia's Progress MS-24 cargo spaceship completed its mission and sank into the Pacific Ocean on Tuesday.

"Today, the cargo ship was deorbited, entered the atmosphere and disintegrated. According to the Flight Control Center, the unburned parts of the ship's structure fell into a non-navigable area of the southern part of the Pacific Ocean," said Russia's state space corporation Roscosmos.

During its six-month stay at the station, Progress MS-24's engines moved the station away from space debris once, and also adjusted the orbit seven times in a planned mode
