STORY: An unpiloted Russian cargo spacecraft undocked from the International SpaceStation (ISS) on Monday (April 7).

The Progress 54 cargo ship, which arrived at the orbiting laboratory in February, undocked from the space station's Pirs docking compartment at 9:58 a.m. EDT (13:58 GMT). It will move well away from the station for experimental tests before its planned deorbit into Earth's atmosphere Friday, April 18.

On April 9, the ISS Progress 55 cargo craft will launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 11:26 a.m. (9:26 p.m. in Baikonur) on an expedited six-hour journey to the orbital outpost.
