MOSCOW (BNS): Russian Progress M-08M cargo spacecraft will be sunk in the southern Pacific Ocean later on Monday, a media report said.

The space carrier was undocked from the Pirs module of the International Space Station (ISS) on Monday where it has been since October last year.

Ria Novosti quoting a Russian Mission Control spokesman said, "An order for the undocking was given at 3:40 Moscow time (0:40 GMT)."
